I would love to see the API-call

https://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/214501181

to return

This would be completely backwards compatible but would greatly simplify the fetching of geometries.

Is this the right place to discuss this matter?

Not really - this is a site for getting help, not for discussing ideas. You probably want to try the dev@ mailing list (or the openstreetmap-website issue tracker, but the latter is really for concrete enhancement requests rather than discussion points).

You are aware of the /full API call that gives you all the nodes together with the way? It is not as easy as your sketch above but goes some way to do it.

The corresponding URL for the way from your question would be simply https://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/214501181/full.
