OSM Carto is using solely boundary relations for a loooong time.

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3762 from 2019 
removed last usages, I think.

Line rendering is using solely relations since 2015 
( https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1938 )

Do you have source for claimed reason being the actual reason?

BTW,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/remove_boundary_tagging_on_ways_in_Poland/
may be useful for overview and/or code.
