Generally, I would propose to only tag crossing =* on the crossing

This statement is only correct if there are crossing ways using the
crossing node.
However, in practical terms it happens very often that in a first
mapping of a road the foot and/or bicycle crossings, as they are
nicely visible on aerial imaging, ar mapped, but not the crossing
foot- and/or cycle-ways, mainly because the details are not visible on
aerial imagery or the mapper is not interested, at that stage, in
foot/cycling details. And the distinction, at least in Italy, between
foot-only and combined foot-cycle crossing are well visable on
satellite imagery. Also traffic-signals are often clearly visible
because of the stop lines. Hence in that first round it is easy to map
crossings and basic crossing types. The crossing way is then often
added later. To me it comes natural not to remove the existing tagging
on a crossing node when I add a crossing way later.
But what is the use of adding bicycle=no/dismount for, let's call it a
solitary crossings?
When in a later stage the crossing way is added this information is not
needed and in the first stage it does not add value to routers.
