At least some guide posts are to guide people along a particular route,
particularly where a few paths meet, where the route diverges off the main
path/road, or where there has been a long distance since the last guide post.
Some of these are simply small signs with symbols only, nailed to a farmers
fence post or tree and may be easy to miss unless you are looking for them.

Provided these are indicators of the route I think they should be included in
the route relation.

Hi,
I'd argue that in most cases it is wrong to add the guidepost
at all to the route, with ot without role. They are not part of
the route they just happen to be along the side of it.
We don't add direction signs on motorways to a motorway relation
either just because the motorway happens to be mentioned on the
sign.
There are a couple of exceptions where adding the guidepost may
be valid (for example when they are official section markers
maybe even equipped with collection stamps) but then the role
is pretty much always something other than guidepost.
Kind regards
Sarah

I would like to see clearer on that one, as we have just launched the
collaboration between OSM and the Italian Alpine Club (CAI). And that
collaboration will insert a large number of guideposts.
Anyone able to check how many information=guidepost without role=guidepost
there are in route relations in the database (I still am a beginner at the
level of Overpass turbo Wizard)

But your example is different. You put the function into the name field.
For me the role of an object tagged information=guidepost is exactly that,
a guidepost. I am sure I am missing something, otherwise it would not have
50k uses.
I guess people are putting the guideposts into the relations because they
feel they belong to the route, and they add the role so it becomes evident
in the relation editor why there are node members.
It doesn’t seem to create problems, but it also doesn’t seem to add
anything (provided there would not be objects acting as guideposts that
aren’t guideposts)
Cheers, Martin
