I generally agree that it should be two one-way ways where it matters for intersections. That is, if there are routinely roads that intersect with only one direction or the other, it's easier than creating all those no_*_turn restrictions. There is also the issue of correctly prohibiting U-turns where not physically possible.

Do remember to adjust the "lanes=" value as needed when combining or splitting ways. Remember it's the total number of lanes that make up the way. e.g. A single two-way street with two lanes each direction plus a center-turn lane is lanes=5. The one-way ways become lanes=2 after the split. Also, if there are turn restrictions in place, make sure to adjust them to work correctly with the new dual ways.

This brings up another issue. How should we tag the type of divider present on a two-way street (that we do not want to split into one-way streets)? How about:

divider=
        none (implication if tag not present)
        center_turn
        k_rail
        dirt
        guard_rail
        bollard
