The original suggestion (quoted in that reply by David K) was the
other way around: The web version of a manual uses URLs that are
derived from the Info manual. Just keep that, but use that mapping
in Info to provide an Emacs command to retrieve the URL for a given
node (and so yank it or follow it etc.).

See above. Provide the corresponding URL from Emacs, but continue
to use the current node refs within Info (Emacs). No wasted space.
No downside. FWIW, that "ad-hoc" node syntax is an Emacs feature,
not something that needs to be removed.
Either way (use a URL directly in Info/Emacs or provide a function
to get the URL for a given Info node), see the previous discussion
of this.
