I was trying to use helicopter icon for rendering helipads on default style, but it looks like it was not needed here and instead it could be good to be used for heliports. However they are currently unrecognizable from plane airports:

This looks like a simple case for me: we don't use aeroway=heliport scheme at all, so we could just start now (probably leaving aeroway=aerodrome for planes and mixed plane/helicopter airports).

We have currently about 6k uses with value "heliport", so given that some of them are just in different languages, it might be at most - let's say- 5k of them in our database:
