Organizing OpenStreetMap Mapping Parties
StreetComplete is fun, because it's heavily gamified. An alternative would be EveryDoor [1] if you want to add specific stuff somewhere instead of having the app ask you questions.

OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder
Yes, I agree that data balkanization represents a significant hindrance for further development of openstreetmap. Fifteen or so years ago I was experimenting with importing DEM files from the US into Blender for landscaping, and finding the data was frustrating. Sometimes the data was available at a state website, other times at a federal website, sometimes also available on the website of that mapping program. Surveys within a given geopolitical constraint would be found on the website of whichever department provided the funding. I understanding that, even if ignoring legal realities, merging this data into a single "ground" (heh) truth would be a herculean task, scientifically. But there was no common database or delivery method. Some departments would link to FTP sites, other would provide arcgis downloads via an interactive web tool. I'd have to depend on user-maintained blog posts to even find the data. And the best data was always locked away behind secure portals that I couldn't get access to.
Nowadays openstreetmap is running into the same problem at the municipality level. In the US, if I understand correctly, geographic data is under copyright to whichever governing entity and not eligible for import into openstreetmap.
Take for example the excellent app Every Door (https://github.com/Zverik/every_door) with a focus on easily adding building information. In the US, openstreetmap has no address information. Either that or very little address information - but none in my area. So it'd be easy for me to add building nodes with house numbers but I won't be doing that. Not only is it a massive commitment, but the data is already available at openaddresses.io. The catch? It's "probably" license-compatible with openstreetmap. Before merging, all that data would have to be reviewed by a team of lawyers. That's not something a software developer can help with.
In existing threads here, a top complaint about OsmAnd is that lack of address information. Try planning a route without addresses, and without constantly switching to Google Maps to convert address to coordinates. Not very user friendly! Opensupermaps (https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation) is a user-maintained merge of openstreetmaps and openaddresses.io, but it doesn't integrate with OsmAnd's data update system.
And that's how data balkanization is breaking openstreetmap, right now.

If you haven't already, check out the new addresses overlay in StreetComplete v48; it's awesome!
You might be forced to use Vespucci or Every Door.

Organizing OpenStreetMap Mapping Parties
Yeah, the country location is a requirement to show the opening hours. The library (https://github.com/opening-hours/opening_hours.js) is aware of holidays in many countries, but for that it needs to know what country a POI is in.
The country awareness source code is here: https://github.com/pietervdvn/latlon2country
The idea: I've taken all the country boundaries from OSM (via nominatim); I slice them in four parts. If the resulting geojson is too big, I slice this again until I have small geojsons, suitable to download. If you know the zoomlevel and location, one can use the standard slippy-tile-index to fetch the correct tile. (Alternatively, if the entire tile is within a country, it'll just return the country code)
However, the client also needs to know what zoomlevel there is. For that, I built a search tree.
It's been a while though, so I've forgotten some of the details ;)

Where to find a merged updated OSM worldmap.
Probably not useful for you, but https://github.com/pietervdvn/latlon2country/ has a 'tiles.zip', where all the boundaries are tiled into small pieces.

How do I download OSM national boundaries?
I also have them available in cut-up geojson-fragments - I use them to quickly determine in which country a point lies in a frontend app. See https://github.com/pietervdvn/latlon2country
