The best thing it would do is ensure the lists are the same across all languages, I believe!

It looks interesting. What does this do that lists on individual Wikipedias can't do?
I work a fair amount on award lists, and some are in other countries or have recipients with articles in other Wikipedias, but mostly they are relatively obscure and will not have an article on any Wikipedia.
Examples:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frink_Medal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidy_Award https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer_Memorial_Prize
There are huge numbers of awards articles out there, some waiting to be created. Many of them are good resources for red-links of articles that could be created.
A better example (for more interwikis) is this article (in en, de, it and pt):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_von_Siemens_Ring
How would wikidata handle that sort of data?

Hoi, Magnus has produced new functionality that allows for lists that are
based
on information in Wikidata.
The great thing is that it is essentially possible to maintain the data
in
Wikidata only and show the information on any and all Wikipedias.
Examples are lists for award winners or lists that include data that changes often.
I blogged about it and, I want to move the list for the N peace award and make it a proper article on the English Wikipedia. Thanks, GerardM
