Leave them as they are. Or add platforms or highway=tram_stop nodes
and put them in the relation instead of the railway=tram-stop nodes.

railway=tram_stop remains useful for rendering (it functions not as a
"stop-position" but as the centroid of the stop area)

On this we do not have agreement. I would add platforms (or
railway=tram_stop as a proxy for a platform). But not stop-positions.

I would expect data users to infer it from the position of the bus
stop. Logically, you could mark a node for the stop_position between
the bus-stop and the way (or even on the way if the stop_position
blocks all traffic on the way). But this is pretty pointless - data
users will probably ignore them anyway, and infer it from the bus stop
location.
