Fine by me to attach them to whatever. I would not map them twice. Anyway I never met or heard about anyone who wanted to navigate to a signpost. Usually people navigate to attractions like a lake or a firepit or a viewpoint or simple follow a route and walk past the guideposts. I find them sometimes rotten/broken and whatever so with a digital map in hand they are not really needed. Certainly not needed in the route relations for routing purposes. There might be a stastical usecase like "which route has the most signposts per km?" But aside from that they are irrelevant aside from being visible on the map as any kind of man-made thing you pass by like a building or mast. If someone really wants to I'm sure you can tweat a query in postgresql to output all signposts along a path within x meters from the path without needing to have them in any relation.
