One of the pitfalls is the need to verify/convert the "RGB-from-svg" colors to CMYK ones, at every import/update of the svg graphics. I might be missing an obvious step here..
You are :)

If the step is actually missing, wouldn't storing the raw CMYK color values in the svg from inkscape, and reading them back in Scribus, be an easier step before a full print export from inkscape ?
It wouldn't. Uncalibrated workflow generally isn't safe. Even Corel DRAW matches CMYK values to a gamut defined by a certain ICC profile internally. Which is exactly what Inkscape can do for you. See the link above.
How are the communities/devs related ? Are there any discussions to help inter-operability or develop overlapping features in common ?
As far as I can tell, there is little communication between the two projects lately.
