This design space can be tricky, so having good concrete
examples is really valuable.
I wonder if dc:creator is a good use case. Does
its range include collections? A quick search
yields "An entity primarily responsible for making the resource."
not "an entity or list of entities...".

A common misconception is that
<#paper> dc:creator ("Mark" "Steven" "Ralph").
somehow automatically corresponds to
<#paper> dc:creator "Mark", "Steven", "Ralph".
so that "Mark" would get bound to ?who in
queries like
SELECT ?who WHERE { <#paper> dc:creator ?who }.
This is not so.
