First off: our target use case is Wikipedia infoboxes. Do you have examples and numbers about the usage of such ancient units in infoboxes on wikipedia? If they are not in main stream use there, I don't see why Wikidata would have to support them.
I don't think old units are used a lot in Wikipedia infoboxes. But one use case is digitalization and importing of various datasets, and in some of them old units are used and will be needed.
