I would be in favor of adding the possibility to tag highway=passing_place on ways, there is already a tiny fraction tagged on ways (although the percentage currently makes it clear they are outliers). There's a general problem with using nodes for features like these: they don't have a direction, so you can't state where the widening takes place. For the lanes approach: I would only use this if the place has some length (more than 5-10 meters you may typically find on a track) AND if there are lane markings (general requirement for lanes).
