Is this sill an issue or did a usable method come up later on in this thread?
Anyway, as an approximation, this can be taken from the weekly dumps.
My filter writes (amongst other this) a TSV file of these. Last
week's top three were:

-[ RECORD 2127 ]----------------------
prop | P21
def_cnt | 1
use_cnt | 2866032
datatype | wikibase-item
label_en | sex or gender
descr_en | Sexual identity of subject. Main: male (Q6581097), female
(Q6581072), transgender female (Q1052281), transgender male
(Q2449503). For animals, use male animal (Q44148), female animal
(Q43445). For groups of same gender, use "subclass of" (P279)
-[ RECORD 2128 ]----------------------
prop | P17
def_cnt | 1
use_cnt | 4055618

Not to be confused with Property:P279 (subclass of).
