Sometime ago, I had to extract a large amount of data from OSM and found the process harder than it should have been. Similar to how you shrunk the size by 50% after removing unnecessary tags. Ended up creating a python package 'earth-osm' (https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/earth-osm) that makes things more intuitive. Always wanted to push the data into a database but never got around to that....
