The current lanes tag works pretty well for me as a pedestrian, it

This could be more usefully placed in the crossing node. Outside a
crosswalk, it's much more useful to know if there's a shelter (raised
median or paved and striped) in the middle of the road.
I agree it's more useful there, but please remember that jaywalking
isn't an offence in many countries.
Here's an example of what tagging every lane would lead to:

I see nothing intrinsically wrong with that. Lots of splitting ways &
tagging admittedly, but that's a problem with OSM & its tagging process.
