Data module is implementing a UI for creating tables, editing them, deleting them, solving conflicts between actual table and schema information. Beyond that it can export table information to code in a views-like manner via CTools/export.

For most of that, Data is heavily leveraging schema module. I'm wondering whether there are plans to implement CRUD on tables in Schema or whether this would be considered a good idea in the first place.

Not something I ever thought of, and I doubt Barry had it in mind. I went through this with Table Wizard, and it looked like a slippery slope towards reimplementing phpMyAdmin in Drupal, so backed away from it. I tend to think this is best left to specialized tools like phpMyAdmin.
