Using a phone, sorry for the short answer to a detailed mail.
Puting boundary-related tags on the ways is redundant (duplicates the
relation tags), risks getting out of sync with the relation, handles
ways belonging to multiple boundaries (always the case for countey
borders) badly, and can be confusing (josm boundary rendering of the way
can mask other renderings). I often remove such tags from ways if I'm
editing the ways.
Yes, sorry about that, I fear I may have trampled on your work there. I
don't yet feel confident enough to reverse out my changesets, especially
given the dire warnings in the Wiki, but if someone more skilled wants
to do so then feel free.
AFAIK we've got all of Ireland boundaries (over 60k of them) mapped as
relations. I'd be surprised if this wasn't the case worldwide, do you
have counter-examples ? I suggest that you forget that mapping
boundaries purely as ways is a thing, and that if do any data fixing,
it's to add missing relations rather than tagging theirs ways.
Thanks. As you'll see from my other reply here we've switched to using a
relation for rendering the border.
