My tags in Calibre:

Romance - Historical
Romance - Suspense
Romance - Contemporary

Just to name a few.
I just use 1 as well, but I just have a measly 3000 books.

My tags are identical in format to yours, using about 20 different ones. I've also added some custom columns, the first indicates from which store I acquired the book, the next shows how much I paid, so "0" indicates free and a 3rd is a sort of shelving system that helps me prioritize: Contemporary 1, Contemporary 2 (freebies), Paranormal 1, Paranormal 2, Etc, along with Other (mysteries, thrillers, etc.) and Finished.
My plan was to move stuff up from the #2 shelves to the #1 shelves as I read through them. In reality I add more to the #1 shelves then I take off. Good thing they're virtual because they'd be snapping under the weight of real books!

I honestly have no idea how anyone can manage without Calibre and I had a pretty decent Access database before I went e-books!
