Agreed.

But a larger issue is the balkanization of YANG.
To every YANG reader, the YANG data-def-stmts look exactly
like those that would be interpreted as configuration and state data nodes.

I little note that says "This is not regular YANG that is intended for
NETCONF or RESTCONF servers" is not really a solution.
RFC 7950 says YANG is for NETCONF, which is extra confusing.
