Given the popularity of reusing Wikipedia's templates on Wikia, I think a good place to start, to get ahead of any potential future flood of requests, would be identifying and documenting which versions of Wikipedia templates/modules work as-is on Wikia; this would be a relatively low-effort project that could potentially save a lot of trouble for a lot of users down the road. Major modules on Wikipedia are quite stable as far as new edits are concerned, so it wouldn't be much of a problem testing new edits either. Whether working versions should be mirrored here or just linked to, though, isn't a question I can answer, though I will point out that maintaining our own copies would allow us to make fixes to otherwise nonworking versions so they work here, and to backport new features, optimizations, and other fixes where such fixes aren't feasible.
