I'd disagree with the wiki there, & say that the perimeter road should be
service=driveway

So if you go by the wiki, the presence of parking spaces doesn't not

I'd say yes it does.

But I certainly wouldn't split ways, and I'm fairly happy with the

Yep.

You could probably also mount an argument to map

Appear to be parking bays directly off it so i'd call that parking

These ones are all highway=service + service=parking_aisle. But I'm

You "could" split them into a driveway in / out, with the rest as parking,
but not much point

Here's one where most of the internal ways are parking aisle, but one

Yes, pretty pointless but if you wanted to be pedantic, it's probably
right. If you really wanted to, you could also make a short section of
driveway up to the separate section of parking at 11 o'clock, & also for
the curve linking that area back to the main park, but definitely no need
to.

And this one definitely should be inverted:

Yep!

So I reckon the moral of this story is that if you think it makes sense to
do it "this" way, then it probably does, & that's probably good enough!
