If the spacing is reasonably even then this feels like something you might
be able to (ab)use the Conflation plugin for.
In theory I think Overpass can give you tagged centroids which might help

That still doesn't answer the addr: tag question.
I don't think we'd normally expect consumers to need to do such detailed
geometry parsing for address to interpretation.
I think we need a firmer scheme for divisions of privately managed stuff
e.g. business parks apartment 'complexes' and the
I'm also unclear how to tag numbered houses in named terraces.
addr:housename doesn't seem appropriate if they are shared along an entire
row and addr:street already has a value.
I've also run into this for blocks of flats. "Block B" doesn't seem like a
housename either? The addr:block tags

This seems like a bad idea.
Name tags are generally very easy to verify on the ground. It is not always
as easy to tell if a shop with a certain name belongs to a specific
wikidata entry, especially in jurisdictions that are less litigious when it
comes to trademarks.
We also should not be doing

I have no problem with big bounding boxes that result from editing large

opposite sides of the world.

Splitting changesets does sound like a lot of work if you don't already
have for example the multi layer tools that JOSM has.
Would a warning that "you already have pending edits ___ km away, please
consider saving or discarding those before editing here" be useful in the
interim? I think this

I would personally prefer it if a certain bit of software said "GPX traces"
or similar for the public traces rather than "survey" when autofilling
sources, but I never remember to raise it in the bug tracker.

It is, but those tend to be a little more point-to-point rather than
