I have to admit I admire the problem but do not have an answer.
What I would like to suggest that dropping the "desk" part and just
using "reception" could make it more conducive to the various
applications being discussed.
It could then be added as a subcategory to the area/building such as
reception=desk...reception=area.......reception=kiosk.. and would
accommodate the problem of more than one type of reception within a
complex such as an hotel
I have always come across receptions .. as having a desk. And a person.
Usually with a phone, brochures for information on the facility they
service.
(reception=tourism...reception=hotel). Or at an airport complex where
multiple receptions exist such as hotel, car hire,etc.
Each of those are in separate places in the airport complex. And are
receptions for different services .. probably indicated by sub tags ..
name= operator=?
Using this would then also not clash with the amenity tag.
Won't they then 'clash' with each other? Whatever sheme is used there
will be clashes, where the clash is by location then simply separate
them by distance - OSM resolution is something like 50mm.
Hope I am not adding more confusion to the problem.

Not to defend the amenity key, but I wonder if there is a need
to tag
the reception if the whole object (including the reception)
deserves
just a single node.
Well, you could have an amenity inside a very large bulding where
you have multiple entrances. Then you could use the amenity node
to indicate that it's actually placed at a certain spot, because
the reception is there. In addition it makes it clear to which
amenity the reception desk belongs, as a different amenity in the
same building could have the reception desk at the other side of
the bulding.
Multiple reception desks in the same area would probably be operated for
different businesses .. thus would be identified by the sub tags of
name=, operator= ... ?
