Also important for routing systems is the "practical speed" for a road. Many country roads may have a high legal limit, but for reasons including width and curviness you may never achieve anywhere near that in practice.

So maybe an additional explicit tag for the "effective speed for routing purposes"?
This is subjective and not helpful for any scenario within OSM.
