It'd be perfectly meaningful to say "in XYZ place there are lots of
brownfield sites not scheduled for any development".

Fine, so maybe we losen the Wiki definition a bit, saying that the land _might_ be scheduled for future development. That leaves the focus on the fact that the land had been used before.

Might is rather too pessimistic for me to place that in OSM. I would prefer 'probable', both terms are subjective .. so some will object.
So I would have
the land _probably_  will be developed.

Yes that is a form of troll tagging, negating the key. Thus I'd prefer brownfield as above.

I think it says what it was used for .. a disused church is still a church.
The question should be ... is it still recognisable for what it was?
