Some hot springs just look like regular springs. But hot springs in volcanic areas are often sulfuric and may have heavy mineral content. The picture on the wiki page shows an impressive example. Others are boiling “mud pots”.
I didn’t find any uses of alternative tagging of natural=spring with spring=hot or spring=hot_spring on Overpass Turbo, and the combinations listed with natural=spring by Taginfo do not show anything hot-spring related (though there may be something with less than 1000 uses) I don’t see any tags with natural=spring and spring=geyser on overpass turbo either.
