Most of the user issues lie with the logging programs feeding LotW. It "should" be easy to specify a satellite QSO. There is no reason you couldn't simply pick a satellite name, and the logging program fills in all the other details required in the background. Some satellites with multiple modes might require a mode selection like AO-7. (In general the satellite name is good enough to know what the frequencies involved are. LotW only goes by band, not actual MHz value).
As for uplink vs. downlink, it is no different than any other non-satellite contact. You log the frequency you transmit on.
The REAL issue is that many people don't confirm via LotW. I sort of figure I owe it to the other guy, so I take the time to make sure my entries are correct.
