    I would say it's more important to have the border in the right
    place (at least such that all roads in one state are on the correct
    side).


I would disagree. No one is going to use OpenStreetMap to solve border
disputes in the US. There are higher quality datasets that come from the
people that make the rules. On the other hand, removing overlapping
boundary ways will clean up the existing OSM data, make it easier to
edit and easier to consume.

I'm not sure what to make of this response. Why would you say we have borders in OSM? Would that reason be better suited by having the borders be in the correct place but duplicated or by having them in the wrong place but consolidated?
