I do find some of the tags useful or I'd just use my own, but people use a ton of them on other sites.
There are options in FFDL now for only using site data to fill tags(etc) on new books, not updates. You've already found the only mechanism FFDL offers for changing metadata: replace_metadata. You can use it to both change and remove incoming tags.

Not that I'm aware of. Are you sure your regexps and escaping are correct?

AO3 continues to add new features, so it doesn't surprise me there's things FFDL doesn't support. I'll look into what we might be able to do about https URLs if you can provide an example URL.

AO3's pairing is included in 'characters' (which is included in tags by default, see include_subject_tags) because the alternative was to throw it away entirely. AO3 is pretty much the site that has a 'pairing' metadatum and I'm not inclined to go to all the bother of separating it out for one site.
