On one hand, I share the frustration of having lots of new data in an area making some of our tools slower and more difficult to use. In my area a building footprint import slowed down most of the mapping tools and land use polygons can get in the way of editing roads.
I agree with this. But I'm not sure that there is a solution. You can use XAPI/Overpass API to download only roads in an area, but you get conflicts (or worse, you move a node and screw up something else without realizing it) when nodes are shared with other non-downloaded features. This can happen directly (road passing through a building or the IMO bad practice of using roads as landuse borders) or indirectly (e.g. road - parking lot - building - landuse).
