It looks like you've accounted for the cases where the Census Bureau 
designated a CDP corresponding to a hamlet by tagging the boundary 
relation with border_type=hamlet;CDP. This implies that the relation 
would also be tagged boundary=administrative;census, which would 
probably trip up most consumers of boundaries.

I think it would be better to tag the boundary relation as just 
boundary=administrative border_type=hamlet. If you care about 
statistical boundaries in OSM, you could then model the CDP as a 
separate boundary=census relation that shares the same member ways. You 
can tag that relation with border_type=CDP to distinguish it from 
another kind of census boundary, for example, census county divisions 
(CCDs), which are found in states that don't subdivide counties into 
townships or similar.
