I have not followed the discussion in detail so I'm sorry if I repeat something already said, but be aware that place=* tags tend to be on nodes not multipolygons, with the node placed roughly at the population center, the central square of a city or whatever. With place=* on multipolygons, renderers will try their best and place a label at the center of the polygon, if they label it at all, which will end up with a town label for "Duxbury" in the middle of the woods. When I see "boundary=administrative, admin_level 8" then I know this is just a boundary and doesn't say much about whether people live there at all, and how many, and where. But when I see "place=town" then I expect a proper town with (usually) a pub and a church. If I were doing this import, I would probably take the time and separate the place=* tags into nodes of their own, manually placing them at something that looks like a populated place, and remove place=* from the multipolyongs; or if I didn't have the time for that sort of work, I'd not add any place=* at all. But I'm not very familiar with the place=* usage in the US and if this is the done thing over there, feel free to ignore me.
