I would argue not. "Don't use relations as categories" was devised to
combat people doing things like adding all buildings designed by a
particular architect to a relation or adding all motorways to a
relation. Relations are (and should be) used to group related items to
make associations explicit. This isn't very different to using
relation for bus or walking routes.

group ≠ category
