Fair enough.
I have only done the estimates/testing for linear and quadratic
elements, the work horses of large-scale industrial solid-mechanics
computations.

I'm not sure it is best to say that "the standard way to handle this" is
to partition the elements. Minimization of communication calls for
partitioning the nodes (at the expense of performing extra element
computations).
For high order elements, that entails far more communication (volume).
I think it's fair to say that element partition is by far the most
common way to implement, though there is certainly a case for working
only with a nodal partition (depending on the intended solver) when
using relatively low order elements.
