If a route ends where it begins, it's a roundtrip, but you don't need to tag that because it's in the relation. The only thing I find useful is tagging roundtrip=yes when the route is not a true closed loop, but still catalogues for hikers as a roundtrip, even though it may have branches and shortcuts.
For automated checks closed_loop=yes might come in handy. If the tag is there but the route is not a true closed loop, it needs maintenance in OSM.
