This is not always the case, especially in cases where schools share a
common campus.

It fixes the issue documented by the original proposal, extended with
the issue I've described (higher education institutes sharing a campus).

But the area itself is often named, and signposted as such (see the
French example in the OP mail).
To be clear: most mappers won't have to use these tags. They are implied
for the common case of one school, one school grounds. This is similar
to how amenity=place_of_worship/landuse=religuous works.
This proposal also co-opts existing tags rather than creating new one.
Does that assuage your concern for landuse=confusion?
