Just wondering: would tighter integration between Wikidata and OSM help with this situation, for example, if a set of coordinates is adjusted in Wikidata then it is automatically adjusted in OSM and vice versa? Would that be a good idea?

This definitely should be fixed on the wikidata side. Whether article
editors are savvy enough to know and enter this data is another question;
but at least the geotemplates should have fields for it and you can assume
that if those are empty some {person/bot hybrid} that understands that
nuance should fill them in.
