My interpretation is that:
amenity=water_point
amenity=drinking_water

mark place used to get water, synonymous for most purposes
- but amenity=water_point may be used  also to supply large volume of
   water.

I don't think they are synonymous - water point says nothing about drinkability. I think it's too important feature in general (I mean outside West countries and in the outdoor) to just guess it when we have special tagging for it.

man_made=water_well
man_made=water_tap

These tags do not indicate that water is available but precisely
describe what kind of structure exists at a given place.

I would probably use water=no if I knew they don't provide the water, but it's quite rare tag (183 uses). My general assumption would be however that the water is there.

Similarly amenity=drinking_water may also appear on objects
that are neither taps nor wells - like fountains or drinkable
mountainous stream in place where it is easy for tourists to get water
or many other object (I am unable to find image now but I encountered
mountainous stream with wooden construction that made refilling
bottles easy, with information board that water is drinkable).

Thanks, that's interesting example where this tag could be used alone, probably.

I would say that amenity=drinking_water is a general source of the high quality water and it would be good to make it more specific if possible - adding tap, well and pump tags would be nice.

Similar with amenity=water_point - it's also general, but without claiming anything about drinkability. Adding device type would be nice too.
