military=airfield + landuse=military is the standard way to do this.
I wasn't making any comment about what may or may not be the "standard"
way to do this; just saying that aerodrome:type is one of the ways that
mappers distinguish between military and non-military airfields.

You'll notice that in that area (and I'm sure elsewhere) that there are
edge cases - "military=airfield + landuse=military" won't exclude
Cambeltown, which has the old IATA code in OSM but isn't currently
landuse=military.
You didn't mention military at all in your initial email, which seems
like an omission.
Best Regards,
