I think we do need tags for
  maximum speed that tends to be reasoable
  typical speed one can go

This could be useful to drop the speed absent tags, but I would worry
that it would be very sensitive to how well the road is represented.

As a completely alternative approach, one could process tracks to obtain
maxspeed:typical values for ways.

A related concern is if some ways (the more commmonly-used ones) are
tagged, then the untagged, even scarier roads will be preferred by
routing.
