No, 'maxspeed' tag on a road does not imply a polygon with "zone"!
There can be both in one place. Tag 'maxspeed' on a road is dominant and
overrides any zonal restriction.

However it's important to notice that two polygons can never overlap
(unless there is a futuristic city with zone-30 area flying in the air
above a 130 km/h highway).

I agree that the polygons are going to be complex. As complex as current
'landuse=residental' polygons or administrative border polygons or...
I know it's pain to work with them, but the solution is to learn JOSM to
split map into layers, not to adjust the data-model.
