Removing unnecessary stuff is a good thing IMHO. I thought the idea behind cycleway=track and cycleway=lane was to avoid having to draw lots of parallel ways. It avoids clutter on my limited resolution GPS. It makes routing easier & faster.

Sharing points means they will render better. But in this case I am fine letting each area have it's own points even though they lie almost on top of each other, whatever is most common.
