The relations shouldn't be complex, certainly not brain-fryingly so..
Also a single relation for the WMCA would comply with the principle of
"one object in real life is one object in OSM" and give a unique
starting point for users to find the extent and the membership of the
authority. Is "non-constituent membership" limited to LA's in the
vicinity of the West Midlands? Anything to stop e.g. Cornwall Council
from joining, if they so desired?

Not really our problem! What county would you enter for Uxbridge?
Middlesex? Or Greater London?

LA's can belong to multiple LEPs so this might get messy. Again I would
apply the principle of "one object..." and create a relation for the
LEP, and make the LAs members. This allows the LEPs to overlap without
any ambiguity and "not a semicolon in sight"...
