I don't, it probably depends on what shorteners are most used for spam
purposes across Wikimedia projects. Maybe someone familiar with URL
blacklisting from major wikis can comment?

Nearly all URL shorteners get blacklisted, eventually.

that makes sense. It sounds like in the short term (and until we have a Wikimedia-operated shortener), using full URLs from WDQS is – alas – the only way to go. One option we haven't mentioned would be for WDQS itself to support URL shortening, I have no idea where that would sit in terms of priorities.
