I think this is positive. This way if new popular trope happens in fandom the tags for it get created much faster than if staff were to add it manually. If the tags were limited to small number, like on FF.net, I would bloody die and never find any story.
However, I do think that fandom and character tags should be more structurized, cuz we don't need 10k tags stating same tv show name, just spelled differently. Also, I think there should be character limit on tags, to prevent ppl using them as basically summaries or space for random comments. I mean tags like: "I only finished X the night before getting the idea for this fic, I'm trying, this might be bad, Apologies, I decided to go for it anyway though because why not" are cancer.
Needless to say in Calibre I chose limited number of tags that are important for me and excluded everything else.
