>The flood prone areas are not designed to let you cross a river
Yes. I think that is exactly the important point and a very good
description/criterion. flood_prone=yes for things that are_not_
designed to be flooded.

No! Flood prone means that they are expected to be flooded from time to time. Nothing about the design. I'd hope that the flood_prone tag would be applied to an area, and best if the frequency is noted e.g. once every 100 years.

And waterway=*, ford=* … for things that_are_
designed/expected to be flooded.

Again no. A ford may be continuously under water. E.G. a road that goes through a river .. where the river normally flows across the top of the road. Some fords may only have water in floods, others seasonally, and others continuously.
