Have you actually checked how many house-number nodes are part of a building 
polygon/way and how many house-number nodes are lacking any building 
footprint? The latter ones can hardly be counted against the notion of having 
house numbers attached to the building footprint as long as the building has 
only one house number. Having the entrance as part of the building polygon 
being tagged with the house number and tagging the building footprint with the 
house number if the entrance is unknown seems the best solution to me.
