this is quite generic what has advantages (apllicable to everything) and
disadvantages (it might often not be clear, to what property the
"clustering" refers). I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to use the
approach of islands / archipelago, i.e. have a dedicated, explicit and
specific tag for the "combined feature" (e.g. several natural=island/islet
can be together in a multipolygon relation which is tagged
natural=archipelago).

In your examples, there could be tags for several lakes:
natural=lacustrine_district / lake_district or maybe "series_of_lakes"
(didn't find a good English word for "DE:Seengruppe").

Didn't find a good one neither for DE:Höhlengruppe (maybe just plural
"caves"?)

DE:Felsengruppe could translate to "natural=range_of_rocks"
(maybe also the caves could be "range_of_caves"??)

Cheers,
Martin
