but is the mention of a steward actuality, or a metaphor?

Actuality, I believe. Gandalf until the King (Aragorn) returns as steward for Manwe. Denethor as Steward for the kingship until the King returns. Aragorn unites the stewardship of the kingship of Gondor and the proper role of men under Manwe in the plan of Eru.
