We've got beautiful name:LANGUAGE tags, they work, I say let's use them.
The English speaking community is well started into this practice (just
look at the 1.3 million name:en tags [1]!) - now let's have the rest of us
get in on the fun too ;-)

I find it odd that inaction, incapability or incompetence of local sign
installers is a worry for a database of geographical facts, which OSM is.
Some roads are hundreds of miles long, at what interval does it need to
be signed for it to be considered signed. Beginning and end? Every 100 km?

When the 'name on the signpost' changes along the way, or by the
direction of travel ..
Another confusing one is Aachen. Depending in which language region of
Belgium you are it will be Aken or Aix-la-Chapelle.
Anyway, I'm also in favor of keeping most of the name:XX tags + a wikidata
Q-number, of course. That's not the kind of redundancy I'm afraid of. In
