Hello there. I believe it would be useful if Harvest Templates could also just scrap string text from Wikipedia template fields. Someone could run your tool in Demo mode, then download the results and with some little effort turn the table into workable input for QuickStatements. There is a lot of data in templates that is not wikified and that cannot be harvested (even with the 'try to match target page even without wikisyntax' ticked) but that a human may easily turn into Wikidata-ready statements would the harvesting be faster.

I mean one can sure use Sandbox-String (P370) as the property in your tool but it would be much more convenient if another regular property could be used at the same time. In other words, for any given Wikidata property and Wikipedia template field combo, it would be cool if the tool could extract string text.
