On Wikidata uploads aren't allowed but I couldn't find a way to determine this via the API.
For example the siteinfo property general returns a filesize larger than zero and the fileextensions list valid extensions.
One way to have the filesize return 0 (or negative) if uploads are disabled or let fileextensions return an empty list or introduce a new property.

A new property would be best: I'd recommend something like "uploadsenabled" which reflects the value of $wgEnableUploads, unless the situation is more complicated than that.
