As for the Wikidata application -- the interface would be awkward compared to something made specifically for interfacing Wikidata with Lua.
I am still not convinced that the interface would be awkward. A general method like
dataTable = mw.data.wikidata({ param1="foo", param2="bar" })
looks pretty simple to me. Maybe the wikidata-specific interface will be more convenient to use, but I doubt that the difference will be significant.
