Yes But,

If a Pub is tagged

amenity=pub
disused=yes

The thing looks like a put (ie large pub like lables) hence
works relatively well as a land mark, it just happens to be closed and does not sell Beer anymore. Its still useful if its a landmark. same as
a disused mine shaft is.

Once it gets knocked down, or reused, or as something else then the tags
need changing.

There is no but here.

A former cafe can be helpful as a landmark as well. Especially when it's a free standing building (e.g. in a forest) near a larger city, which is
not that uncommon in germany.

If you stand in front of it, you'll now this once was a cafe. Larger
paved area in front, view to a lake, maybe even chairs piled and locked, ...


It is not helpful if you are looking for a list of places that you can get a coffee/beer/snack.

If you want to use old cafes as a landmark you could use old_amenity=cafe to say that it is no longer open and serving customers.
