> Would we lose anything by simply reinstating the old shift behaviour?

Shift now prevents JOSM from re-using nodes, but still inserts nodes
into existing ways. Old way to deal with this was to zoom in so the
snap distance would be too large, then click, then zoom out again. Now
you can just Shift-Click. If you wonder why one needs this, try to
think if when you try to create a "T" crossing. There are sometimes
nodes that make it more look like an "italic T" crossing, which is
annoying. Since there were no free modifiers (ctrl: no re-using at
all, ALT: start new way from current node) I figured it was best to
remove SHIFT as double click is a good alternative.

You can also just click the node you wanted to insert again.
