Here's a potential fix: use the SimplifyArea JOSM Plugin. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/SimplifyArea
The plugin is built for fixing over-noded and buggy imports. As a test, I downloaded the plugin and then downloaded some of Annapolis sailor's buildings. This building should only contain four nodes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/525751797 This building should only contain eight nodes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/526209538 The plugin successfully reduced the nodes for both buildings without affecting the shape, unlike the simplify way tool. I tested it on a larger swath of 500 buildings and it took less than a second to run. I haven't uploaded any of the changes yet, but I think this would be a good path forward.
