The low use of landuse=mine is *exactly* why it would benefit from moving to landuse=industrial,industrial=mine. A generic top level tag will gain rendering support. A specific top level tag will languish. OSM can grow by finding communities interested in speciality mapping. Mines are a fine example. But it's hard to get anyone interested in tagging stuff that never renders.
