I have started to tag these groups of lakes as a site relation. One recent example would be https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6077541 The group is collectively known as "Hellroaring Lakes", with some of the individual lakes having their own names and others being unnamed. The drawback of this solution: the name of the site relation is currently not rendered on the standard map, nor is it found by nominatim. But I expect both to change eventually if this tagging gets used more often.
