How to manage categories or grouping between Calibre and Onyx Boox Note

Now that I have my books library in good shape in Calibre, I am looking to copy a large selection of them to my Onyx Boox Note.

As a way to make it possible to find and filter certain books on topics, in Calibre I have paid some attention to having most books populated with sensible tags.
I have not (yet) researched creating categories, virtual libraries, sub-groupings, or whatever.

My challenge/fear is that while in Calibre I can now easily find what book(s) I am looking for, I am afraid that it will become a bit of a bulky mess in my ereader.
And scrolling through hundreds of books on an ereader is not much fun.

So my question to Onyx Boox users is:

Can you suggest good practices to setup and prepare both Calibre and my Boox Note so that when I copy books to my ereader, they end up in a way that makes it comfortable to filter, group, refine etc.?

For example, as an uneducated guess I think that the book tags that I have in Calibre probably only exist in the opf files, and they will not be ported over to the ereader?
