I think "external sites" isn't quite what this is proposing - it's
generating crosslinks to Wikidata and Commons, and potentially through
those to alternate-language versions. It's still remaining within the
general ecosystem of our projects, and if we signpost that clearly I don't
see a problem.
For what it's worth, "please link to other languages in search" (usually
"if there's no local result") has been a feature request on and off for the
best part of ten years :-)

Do we have any other instances where we link to
external sites within
search results, this seems slightly concerning to me.

Hoi,
In the latest hack by Magnus, he has expanded the search capability to
Wikidata so that you will get automatically generated descriptions but
also
a link to Commons, a link to the Wikipedias and a link to the Reasonator.
The last bit is extra special because it will show you information in the
language of the Wiki with a fall back to English. At this stage
Reasonator
only works for people. (ie "is a" "human").
What we would like is to have a nice logo for the Reasonator. it should
look good as an icon in the search and it should look good on a bigger
scale. I asked Lydia and, she may throw in a Wikidata T-shirt if she
likes
the result.
I blogged about all this, [1] and, there is a link included that explains
how to add the search capability to your Wikipedia profile.
Thanks,
Gerard
