In Germany we say: don't touch an object just for cleanup.
Cleanup without any other modifications (e.g in geometry) will change
the timestamp of that object (last changed!!!) and somebody may think:
this way has been modified last week - so i don't need to check the
geometry or the speed limit or something else.
Ok, if you really change something, THEN you should cleanup old/unused tags.

I agree that removing the non standard tags is almost always OK.
What is the advantage of removing them all with an automated edit?
Their presence doesn't damage anything, and editors can add those tags
to their passive removal list.
The TIGER name expansion resulted in a large benefit by removing a
manual task. Changing unused tags would only add to the history file
for a small benefit.
