so: yes, scribus and inkscape do share some common formats (svg, eps,
pdf, png).

for a sankey diagram you should be able to safely import a svg created
by inkscape (and saved as plain svg) into scribus.

some features implemented by inkscape are not yet recognized by
scribus, though.
you will have to check if your graphics are being correctly
imported into scribus.

if you're doing photo realistic graphics, you will probably hit
scribus' limits. if you're just doing some graphs, you should be
on the safe side (the biggest concern will probably be related to the
text import: you may have to vectorialize it when exporting the file;
gradients may also be an issue)
