No, it wouldn't. That would just be guessing

This suggestion requires more effort than adding route relations.

Your main point isn't really that " a hundred or more relations on 
motorway is unsustainable" (The database has no sentient understanding 
of what's too much data) but the lack of efficient editors.

What you're proposing is to 'tag incorrectly to suit the limitations of 
router/editor'. This is not how it should be done. Have a word with 
JOSM's/P2 creators. (I would suggest iD as well, but we all know /that/ 
would get you nowhere)
