Oh, I see what you mean. I was lost in translation I guess.
As I wrote in my first message, they're still used for their original
purpose in the Mediterranean area, although not as much as before, of
course. Still, they are used for other purposes, like festivals, as you
mentioned, family reunions and many other agricultural purposes.

historic=wayside_shrine and some other values of historic=* are
examples which show that the key "historic=" can be used for features
which are still functional.

A threshing floor is probably still usable for beating grain to remove
the chaff and straw, as intended, but with modern machinery available,
these features will no longer be used in countries with access to
capital. They are still used in remote areas where farmers have very
few resources (e.g Afghanistan, according to some photos available
online). But most of those in use in richer countries will be as
historic sites or for special festivals, as shown in the photos in the
wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshing_floor

My preference would be for man_made=threshing_floor however.

    What does historic=wayside_shrine have to do with threshing floor?

                We also have historic=wayside_shrine that is used for
                ones that are not historic at all.
