When it comes to U-numbers for unclassified roads, I can see that they usually add unnecessary clutter to the map. So while they may be useful to see at times, I'd be in favour of them not being displayed on the default style. But I think this is a renderer issue -- perhaps someone should submit a ticket to have ref=* not rendered on highway=unclassified if there is a name=* present.
You appear to be drawing some sort of distinction between C and U numbers here, and maybe that works for your authority, but I don't think it's in any way universal.
As I understand it every authority has it's own numbering scheme for roads below B roads. Some just have one number space (C or U or whatever) and some have multiple levels like C, D and U.
Personally I have no problems with the numbers being in the data but I don't think they should be included in everyday renderings - they are something that belong on specialist renderings for specialist uses of the sort you mentioned.
