Hi,
in some parts of the world, it's common practice to paint guidepost
information (destinations, distances etc.) on rock faces, trees, walls
and similar existing surfaces, rather than use purpose-made plates
attached to a pole. (Example:

In addition to paint some are carved into the material (I am thinking of
sandstone rock, trees do grow over inscriptions).
I would not be too worried by this as the renders probably will not be
bothered to show such detail.
Do you think that these warrant their own tagging style?
No. The material the guidepost is made from is of lesser importance to
the fact that it is a 'guidepost'.
Or is it acceptable to use information=guidepost, maybe with an
additional tag (although I can't think of one off the top of my head)?
material=rock/sandstone/*
I know of some 'guideposts' that have no written inscription but conform
to a style and colour that identifies them to a particular trail,
similar to the white blaze of the AT. Yes, these are timber posts that
guide walkers using arrow symbols so the term 'guidepost' suits.
