Fine by me to attach them to whatever.
I would not map them twice.
Anyway I never met or heard about anyone who wanted to navigate to a signpost.
Usually people navigate to attractions like a lake or a firepit or a viewpoint
or simple follow a route and walk past the guideposts.
I find them some

I suppose that you therefore consider that the principal tag for these

I am mapping guideposts rather rarely, when I do it, I place them on their
actual position, sometimes on building outlines, or on retaining walls, or just
flying
Guidebooks in a hiking/cycling route should be fine, provided they carry
the role=guidepost tag.

Please don't do this. If there's a gate on one side of the road you
wouldn't add that gate to the road itself, would you?
I really think it would be nice to be able to say query and list all
Bad practice if you ask me. Where do we limit what POI is nice to add? I have
seen huts and shelters and viepoint and buildings added to routes in Sweden. It
completely botches up the height profiling by data consumers like waymarked
trails and the calculation of route length becomes harder.

That does not sound right to me. Why would you do that? A route relation is in
my mind
+1, this can be somehow tagged,
but there is no need to invent a new tag
I would also tag guidepost attached to

even if it would be supported by wall,
