Typical situation in Poland is that only residents may drive on some roads
in housing estates - not everybody who wants to reach this place.
So I am using vehicle=private - despite the fact that it is quite different from
private as in "only one person may use this road". vehicle=destination
is not a correct tagging here.
Yes I would do the same, for the following reason.
access=private would be defined as allowed for members of a predefined group,
which could range from a family, the residents of your estate, to a yacht club.
(This leaves open how a parcel is being delivered in such situation, but maybe
delivery is allowed.)
access=destination would be driven by your momentary intent to reach that
destination, without prior membership.
As for the routing software, a sophisticated router might not route through
traffic over access=private, but if the destination is on a private road it
might request confirmation from the user that he has the permission to go there.

Absolutely - this is true of pretty much every highway= value and they, too,
have been adapted for use elsewhere.
I'd echo the call not to use access=private on housing estates. Last year I
was working on a (commercial) project to plan thousands of delivery routes
in the urban US, using OSM data and routing software. The only serious issue
we encountered was exactly this: the router couldn't plan journeys to
estates where each road was tagged with access=private.
We could have told the router to ignore access=private, but this would have
created wrong routes in other situations. Using access=destination would
have prevented this.
