I know there's taginfo (including one for the US!

out what tag combinations are being used with a name=* (For example,
finding what tag is used most often with name=Dollar-General).

One minor problem with determining future tagging based on the frequency of past use is that better tags might be newer. For example, my impression is that

  shop=variety

is newer than shop=department_store. But shop=variety also fits Dollar General much better than department_store IMO, which I had used in the early days.

Just an opinion about the superstore that includes a full sized supermarket and full sized non-food department store: it almost merits its own tag, or at least 2 nodes to clearly show the 2 store classes. But then one could also argue to include the in-store bank, hairdresser, nail salon, snack shop, etc as separate nodes.
