ele= is certainly meaningful for aeroways. And I suspect that the
UUID will be meaningful when trying to cross-reference back to the
original data.

Please don't. If you want to add a tag like ele:status=estimated, that
would be a better solution. There's always imprecision in elevations;
even GPS usually has considerable vertical dilution of position. An
elevation derived from photogrammetric contour lines is better than no
elevation at all.
