So basically the question is, do you have a specific need for tags? If yes, then the documentation of the add-on/system for which you need the tags will explain which tags are used for what purpose.
If no, then there is no need to start using them.

If you e.g. want use one of the following, then you need tags:

hueemulation in combination with Alexa

HomeKit

OpenHAB Cloud in combination with Amazon Alexa Skill or Google Assistant
