Correct, thats also what i do (and the OP). Works more or less fine.

But tags are written to the images or xmp files and thus trigger backups.
And if you have lots of tags, you probably don't want even more tags. These
tags then may have same names, e.g. i have 'river' and 'calendar/river'
which makes typing tag names slightly less comfortable. If you want to show
all images with a tag, you either search or select a album tree root and
filter for the tag. Works, yes, but not as comfortable as simply selecting
an album.

For me, it does therefor not feel right to use tags for this.
