The templates that need Lua the most (the citation templates) are not translatable between wikis. All the wikis have different standards for doing citations. What expensive templates do you have in mind that would benefit from interwiki transclusion?

Common function/class libraries. Otherwise we will have hundreds of libraries which are copied from one wiki to another and then we end up with having different outdated libraries across multiple projects (like it happened with gadgets).

Yes. Absolutely this: in some sort of platform-wide repositry, in the same way that Commons does for images.
This is also a real chance to clean up many of the cross-wiki infelicities that have built up in the old template system.
And coord, citation, and infobox templates are the obvious places to start.
