You have some good points - re: cleaning up the crap you don't need.
e.g., I have 3 tags per book: One from "Fiction|Nonfiction", one from "Novel|Omnibus|ShortStory" and one from Genre (many different possibilities there).
The first one is quite useless - I just calculated the numbers and my collection is 99.4% fiction.
The next category regarding length of the book (novel vs. shortstory vs onmibus) is a distinction that, so far, I have never used to select my next book to read.
Genre is important, however.
I have two other tags that optionally appear. One is "read" to flag books that I have already completed, and "audiobook" to flag those. I don't have any audiobook-only entries in Calibre, it's always an eBook with an optional audiobook alongside that.
My tags are - mostly - useless. Except for Genre.
Other books - textbooks, reference books, travel guides, history books, things like that - are kept in a separate Calibre library away from my novels library.
