note that in actual mapping any such decommissioned vehicle
gets historic=vehicle (or historic=tank or similar)

Yes, that goes contrary to theoretical definition of historic=* key
desired by some. 

And it does not really seem incorrect to tag all old tanks as historic=*
(the same goes for locomotives, planes and so on).

If someone really dislikes it they can start using/promoting
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/man_made=vehicle
or maybe https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/man_made=tank <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/man_made=tank#chronology>
(and cleanup cases where it was used for man_made=storage_tank)
or maybe other tag.
Or accept current tagging as survivable.
