::Replying in order:

::#It looks like {{t|Infobox YouTube personality}} already generates a reference to the channel itself, so as far as that application, we're all set. There should absolutely be a reference somehow, since that's a firm requirement of any Wikidata data being used on Wikipedia.

::#The infobox currently ashas {{para|subscriber_date}} as a separate parameter from {{para|subscribers}}, so it'd be easiest for me to work with a separate call. That way, I can just edit the infobox to replace the parameters with calls to the module. That also seems more flexible for other future use cases.

::#"47 million" is a lot more humanly readable than "47,001,747", so I'd say yes. {{t|Format price}} can be used, I think, even though we're not talking about a price here. As always, flexibility is nice, so if it's possible, it'd be nice to have an option to return a raw number for future use cases where that is desired.

::#Better error handling is always better. At minimum, we'll want it to return {{t|Error}} and link to the module documentation, where we'll explain what the issues might be and teach folks how to get to the Wikidata statement so they can fix them. Ideally, we'd give specific errors that would help folks even more easily implement fixes.
