Why not just block the bots on wikis that use
wikidata?
Bots are used for much more than interwiki handling.

What is exact time of the next deployment (it and he)?
If you want to catch it, join #wikimedia-wikidata on IRC. It was
great to follow it on D-day!
And what time you think is best to disable interwiki bots?
Xqt can modify the code, but pywiki is not deployed, it is updated
by bot owners, so there is no chance to focus it on one hour. For
this reason I would say to begin it after deployment of Wikibase as
otherwise one should do it at least 1 or 2 days before which would
cause a maintenance pause. Yes, people will try to remove iws and
some of them will be put back by bots.
