For me it's really annoying if a song is considered different from a same song with the same title / key when I fix a typo in the artist or change the tempo.
I don't know what you mean by this, as a song is not considered different from a song just because you change metadata in that song. Song's can have duplicate files, duplicate titles, duplicate metadata, etc. The only time the uniqueness matters is when importing PDFs, or using features like the synchronization feature where it needs to match up songs from different libraries, and it needs to use the song title and filename for this purpose.
So if you want to avoid problems, just make sure to give all your files unique names, and that should be sufficient. I would generally also advise having unique song titles to avoid any potential issues, especially if you want to use features like the library synchronization.
If you mean that a PDF is different just because you modify the metadata in the PDF, then I disagree. That PDF is different, and should be treated as such, and you should get a conflict dialog if you import it so that you can replace the existing PDF in the library if desired.
