What I am suggesting;
Stage 1 - Vote on office=diplomatic as a replacement for amenity=embassy
Once that is past
Stage 2 - vote on diplomatic=embassy/consulate/?
with embassy=embassy/high_commission/?
consulate=consulate/consulate_general/?
?=?/?
Stage 3 .. if you have further things.
That way each vote is on one issue only not the lot bundled together.

I think there are too many things in the proposal. Keep it simple.
Yes the 'extras' might sound nice but they add complexity and each
one is a point that can lead to someone objecting to that specific
thing and leading to enough no votes that it fails.
At moments like this I like to invoke one of my heroes: Albert
Einstein. One famous saying attributed to him is: As simple as
possible, but no simpler.
If you simplify complex realities too much, you lose valuable detail.
If it's complex, it's complex. If you want to leave out a level of
detail, such as being able to distinguish between the different types
of services provided on behalf of multiple "tenant" countries in a
diplomatic mission, then so be it, but let's discuss whether it is
desirable to leave that out, and whether the resultant ambiguity is
acceptable. Data modelling means constructing an approximation to
reality, and is all about what details to keep in and what to leave
out. Once it is left out, it cannot be reconstructed from the rest of
the data. (If it can, your data model is not properly normalised.)
If OSM is being limited to being suboptimal because of politics and
the inability to reach consensus, I would rather the system was fixed
instead of condemning the whole business to eternal mediocrity.
