I generally consider it poor form to remove good data even if it isn't strictly necessary.
The necessity of the addr:city tag depends on the area. In some places it's strictly according to a boundary that exists in OSM. In others the boundary data is either missing or doesn't always align with the "postal town" according to the mail carrier so it's good to include it.
Points of interest and amenities are probably the next most useful. Things like street lighting and sidewalks quite helpful for pedestrians. It's more important that you are still enjoying mapping. If there is something that you know is useful but you find tedious it's ok to skip it and either leave it for someone else or come back to it later
As it sounds like you're on Android, I'd recommend @streetcomplete for easily adding detail while on the go.

Because not everyone lives somewhere where open data exists. Even that map of a single country shows that
~40%(?) of the country is missing the relevant data.

No, this is against Google TOS and OpenStreetMap policy on data sources and the Data Working Group will step in and block any accounts doing this to protect the project as a whole.
@BitSound @openstreetmap
There is no real reason to break things up block by block unless the blocks have unique names or something. It's also a pain to edit when the areas have been glued to the roads.
So yeah, leave them big.

Very slim. But their privacy policies are online if you're concerned.
You free labour all goes to the OpenStreetMap database licensed under the Open DataBase License.

It caused a lot of fake stuff to be added to OSM even though its update frequency was slow enough that very little of the fake stuff actually made it into Pokemon Go.
I think it did bring in a few good mappers too though so it wasn't all bad.

If a question type gets tedious you can disable that "quest" in the settings.
@soloojos
This seems like it'd be the opposite of an @openstreetmap thing.
@huojtkeg I still find this worrying as an OSM contributor.
@furtiveParalysis @openstreetmap
If there's national scheme then we could potentially map that, but outside of that this sound very difficult to survey and might be something that could change far too often to be reliably mapped in OSM.
