So since ODBL and CCBYSA are not compatible, why would it be less of a
source of possible conflicts and infringements of Wikipedia's content
license to use ODBL instead of CC0?

No you cannot: CC-BY-SA is not intended for data, so
regarding data
you should never use any CC licence (pre-version 4.0, v4 will address
database rights) other than CC0. That's why if you want BY-SA
conditions, the good choice is ODbL which was created by the Open
Knowledge Foundation exactly for this, a share alike licence for
opendata.
Like I already said a few months back, I totally agree with Alex :
using ODbL and therefore keep along the BY-SA choice that rules
Wikipedia is the most logical choice. Mocing towards CC0 would be a
source of a lot of possible conflicts and possible infringements of
Wikipedia's content licence.

other way around.
Or else what do you mean with "compatible"?
