The tourism=lean_to in my part of the world are used for camping or
overnighting by hitchhikers or long-distance skiers. Such users would
probably prefer some searchable symbol, so that they can navigate to the
nearest lean-to or desert hut. A generic building symbol (if there is
one) would probably not be searchable, as there are so many buildings.
Camp_site or caravan_site seems to imply access for motor vehicles.
These tourism=lean_to would be in the forests, not necessarily reachable
by road vehicles.

I agree that either treatment would be fine for amenity=shelter. Do you
happen to know the code of the building symbol?
