I want to contribute more to OSM and I understand that changes need to be authored to prevent abuse. Is there any way to contribute (especially via "on-the-go" clients such as Street Complete) without essentially creating a public trail of my exact movements?

Yeah that makes sense. It's a shame as I'm really enjoying Street Complete!

Yeah, I get that. I've been (very slowly) mapping the valley I grew up in, so I've been pretty much sticking there with Street Complete. I'm not overly concerned about people figuring out where I've been, but I do tend to avoid mapping too close to home. I appreciate that other people have different concerns though ๐Ÿ™‚
