A lot of buildings have to be building=yes, for lack of anything better.
But
you already lost the battle with building=house, which is too firmly
entrenched to change.
Why would it need to change? If that's it's *current* usage tag it as
house. If it changes to something else, amend it. .
BTW, what do you think this building is?

It's a private house. But it used to be a chapel, and that's how you'd
describe it
if you wanted to use it as a landmark in navigational instructions.
Use historic=* because *that's* what it is - historic. It makes it clear.
Building=* is a current tag. Using it to describe its historical usage,
based falsely on an assumption building usage (say, schools) has some
sort of unifying physical characteristics, makes no logical sense.
