I use it like you.
But the feature description proposed to use it for the estimate instead of the limitation. As the tag is established for years, you can't get any reliable information from it, by principle.
-> messy as most multi-purpose-tags
De facto the current state mostly shows valid data, as most people understood correctly how to use it. At least in Switzerland.
But in case of routing decisions, the speed depends on the vehicle in use. In Cities, a bicycle may be faster than a car at rush hours time.
But I may be off-topic. The thread seems to take a different curve. ;-)

I would start redesigning the maxspeed tag for example. Up to now it is
too ambigous to be used directly.
Hello,
I didn't know maxspeed was ambiguous. Isn't it just the limitation on the border of the road, and the general limitation elsewhere?
