what is the current suggested use of add-pois-to-areas - have any changes like http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/POIs-for-areas-td6043656.html been introduced recently ?

I don't think so.

is it correct that w/o this options garmins won't be able to find, let's say, hotels that are mapped as an area, instead of a node ?

Yes. So you need: 1) set the --add-pois-to-areas option 2) Have corresponding entries in your polygon AND point file. In the default style you have all shops in the polygon-file (shop=*) but no amenity=library or amenity=pharmacy, so these are not found when mapped as area. Chris
