Main harm is that
- it is one more tag that people, especially newbies need to understand (
or be confused by it)
- its presence encourages adding more tags like this or adding
is_in:continent to additional objects

I agree that it is matter of opinion is this harm significant enough to justify
automated edit, but it certainly exists.

Anyway, based on earlier comment by Frederik Ramm I just created
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/17504 <https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/17504>
"consider is_in:continent for automatic dropping or validator warning with autofix removal"
