But what's the alternative then?

- Using CW CCW? How would you indicate the direction of this route 
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9535700), not using the order of the 
individual ways? 

- Using designated_direction=forward|backward|both.   But forward relative to 
what?

I understand that it's dangerous to rely on the order of ways in a relation. 
But difficulty of tagging/editing is only a minor argument, as long as there's 
no better alternative way of tagging.
