Example: We have a property P# and there is a statement P1629: Q1234 used in the property P#. The item Q1234 has a [xx] label and the property P# has not a [xx] label. Then a fallback for the [xx] language on the property P# from the item Q1234 could be used.

So you mean Wikidata should follow certain special statements to figure out a fitting label? That seems like an awful lot of magic to me to be honest. Can you give a specific example where this would have been useful to you? Maybe we're imagining different things.

I meant just the fallback. Where I realise it could cause problems, is searching for a property when creating a statement.
Usefulness for me: Someone creates a property and adds P1629: an item. The item has a Czech label but the property does not. The fallback for cs would be the label of the item.
if you think, this is out of development scope, I have no problem with closing this as WONTFIX.
