I probably didn't get your point. Anyway, let's try again.
I don't see any problems with removable cards and neither with
non-removable cards.
Normally, we don't need a connector node, but instead we put the
related properties/phandles in the host controller node. This works
fine!
For SDIO func devices, sometimes we need a child node of the host
controller node, as to be able to describe certain characteristics of
the SDIO func device. So this case is kind of a special type of card
node (because one can have several SDIO func devices attached, even if
this isn't used).
Now, to follow the current bindings, we must not put connector related
bindings in the card node, like the vmmc-supply, perhaps that is what
causes confusion here?

Agree!
But I think there is nothing to improve in this case, or am I wrong?
Kind regards
