In hewiki we had a discussion in village pump before phase II deployment and there is a simple bureaucratic policy for converting templates to use the new {{#property}} feature: a discussion in "Wikipedia:Village pump/templates" for each template conversion before actually adding {{#property}} for it. (this "village pump for templates" was already exist to eliminate adding unnecessary extra parameters that were added without discussion) This way we can check that each conversion is both technically ok, use the correct properties from wikidata, and doesn't add unnecessary parameters.
We don't use yet the new features - as in the real world cases it isn't just {{#property}} and to enjoy the powerful features of wikidata we must use WikibaseClient Lua api, but we are in final phase of testing {{Taxobox}} (with no parameters at all. really cool!)
I would like to thank to Lydia and wikidata team - you are doing a great job.

Lydia, could you please point me to the discussion on *English
Wikipedia*
where the community indicated an interest in deploying this software? Infoboxes and sourcing to another website completely outside the control of English Wikipedia is a rather big issue, and I would expect to see a Request for Comment with at least 200-300 participants.
I think the issue we're seeing here is that changes, particularly large changes, often aren't socialized well.
It probably doesn't help to target the English Wikipedia first, of
course,
given that it's often annoyingly exceptional. Wikidata seems like a large enough change that I agree that a bit more socialization might be nice. There are over 700 wikis on which to possibly deploy Wikidata, in theory.
Wikidata phase 2 is already live on 11 different wikis. ( http://blog.wikimedia.de/2013/03/27/you-can-have-all-the-data/)
