So I don't see *why* you think there would be any risk to Wikidata's
"own integrity".
Interestingly how no one mentions (or have I missed it?) what to me seems
to be
the biggest problem, and that is the possibility
that multiple Wikidata
items
link to a single Wikipedia article.
If sitelinks to redirects are ever implemented, it would be imperative that
it
is checked that no two redirects lead to the same
place.
It's no problem if multiple redirects link to the same place.
For example, on en-wiki, we have
Luke Havell (redirect) -> Havell family
Robert Havell (redirect) -> Havell family
Daniel Havell (redirect) -> Havell family
etc
It's no problem if we have different items
Q(Luke Havell) -> Luke Havell (redirect)
Q(Robert Havell) -> Robert Havell (redirect)
Q(Daniel Havell) -> Daniel Havell (redirect)
different items, for different people, sitelinked to different places on
en-wiki, that happen to be redirects.
All right, that may not be a big problem. However, it would be a big problem if
we have:
Q(Coat of Arms of Novi Sad) -> Coat of Arms of Novi Sad -> Novi Sad
Q(something) -> Coat of arms of Novi Sad -> Novi Sad
Q(something) -> Coat of arms of novi sad -> Novi Sad
