IMHO, it could be deprecated. I don't > have an opinion on "leisure=nature_reserve".

I've been trying hard to make sure that they are also tagged with 'boundary=protected_area protect_class=* access=*' as well, so that when and if the renderer shifts to protected areas, I'm good to go. While posting this, I discovered that I've missed a few, but I need to do research to figure out what protect_class they are. That's one reason that I don't like requiring that 'protect_class' be the only driver. It's often not observable on the ground. I can't tag it correctly until and unless I've done some non-field investigation. I've also done some limited landcover with a few areas like https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6467468, but I find it to be really slow going (getting it right involves comparing summer and winter images, for instance). In maps that I render, I ordinarily derive landcover from non-OSM sources, so getting landcover for me has a very low priority - I mostly map what I plan to render. (Also called, "scratching your own itch.") A fair number of 'national parks' are actually class 5 or 6, owing to inholdings and private-public partnerships. They usually have 1b's and 2's embedded within them.
