I would say in principle there is no limit to which parts of PROV may be re-used. The more I explore PROV, the more byways I find myself traveling down. So I only see opportunities, not risks. 

I note your comment about what was done in DQV. However, I also see that some of DQV is sub-classed from QB, which brings plenty of its own baggage. So perhaps you can explain why that made sense, while subclassing dcat:Dataset from prov:Entity doesn't. The scope of DCAT has a significant overlap with the scope of PROV. PROV is a W3C vocabulary.
