I understood the general rule of thumb was to map to the data and not to the renderer (which is an unknown quantity). If you're concerned about, say, OSM Standard layer, then I'm sure some kind of look-ahead could be employed when preparing a street for rendering:
"If a way shares a start or end node with another way of the same type and name, treat as a single way when writing the name." Sticking with OSM Standard layer, there's also an issue at the other end of the scale where the name /isn't/ repeated, and where doing so would improve readability. Contrast... https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22733502 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/236297998 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/236297987 ...which actually need coalescing into a single way, but the point stands, and... https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/150134209 ...where (depending on zoom level) you have to read along and up from the B-road to find the street name.
