I can't claim a consensus
but I do not reuse the nodes of an admin boundary for a road.
Roads do change at the whim of the local council as they realign corners etc.
It also makes editing the roads difficult - and here it makes it hard for a
new user to edit the road without breaking the admin boundary.
I do reuse the nodes for waterways because they are far more accurate than
anything I can achieve for a river off Landsat imagery, and I have no other
means of mapping the waterways in western NSW.
