If you can turn from the way directly into a parking spot, then it should be parking aisle, so that one I think should be parking aisle.

Slightly different view here. I find that most car parks have "arterial" ways for ingress/exit, navigation within larger parks, and sometimes very local through "destination" traffic; obvious from design or width. I don't put a parking_aisle on these. I think leads to better map presentation and routing. In Melbourne, I find that many car park service roads double up as useful bicycle connectors.

At least some of those "arterial" ways also have parking alongside them. I would still mark those as parking aisle. Where there is not adjacent parking then 'unclassified' would be my choice.
This comes down to what the purpose of the service=parking_aisle tag is.

Is it to distinguish major vs minor roads within a parking area - because that's how it's handled by renderers and routers - or to say where to find parking within a parking area.

I'm probably more with Michael Collinson on this one.

The parking aisle page on the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Dparking_aisle
states one of the exclusions as:
"Forms the "trunk" or perimeter of the parking lot, connecting multiple parking aisles – use highway=service without service=* instead. There may be parking spaces on either side, but the roadway's primary purpose is to get drivers to another part of the parking lot."

So if you go by the wiki, the presence of parking spaces doesn't not automatically make it a parking aisle. It's about what you consider the way's primary purpose is.

Here's an example of a classic trunk/spoke parking lot that has sections of ways that are not parking_aisle:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=19/-33.83561/151.06817
eg
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/368622450
But I certainly wouldn't split ways, and I'm fairly happy with the tagging/presentation. You could probably also mount an argument to map the circumference as highway=service without service=parking_aisle, but that's probably where the subjectivity comes in.

These ones are all highway=service + service=parking_aisle. But I'm happy again with the tagging/presentation.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=19/-33.83906/151.07297

Here's one where most of the internal ways are parking aisle, but one small section is not. This seems pointless to me.

And this one definitely should be inverted:
