As a general rule, we outline residential landuse areas using the tag

Sure - the only problem is when you can't be reasonably certain that
what you're tracing is only residential. In those cases,
landuse=residential is wrong.
And we use a node to describe places. Exchanging such infos with
various humanitarian organizations, I think that we are better to keep
a data model where we make distinction between the nodes places=* and
the residential areas polygons.
Place tags on an area where that place has clearly defined bounds are
not incorrect. Data consumers have to be prepared for either. For what
it's worth, openstreetmap-carto doesn't handle this correctly and there
are a couple of issues about it.
