Looking back at the notes from the previous discussion & spotted this comment:
"only split the way at the point where you can no longer physically change lanes." Physically, or legally? Looking at the Princes Hwy/William Rd <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/779286918/history> example, yes, there's only a painted line & island that you can physically cross, but that would mean doing an illegal lane change. Are we supposed to worry about that, or not?
