I agree it is worth tagging (if objectively observable / signposted), and
agree with Mateusz it has to be part of the route relation, not a node. My
suggestion would be to add a node (or more if needed) to the route relation
with the role "start" or "starting_point".
There are already 3476 role "start" in route relations by the way:

And I have found some docu in the wiki:

Cheers,
Martin
