Also the people who add genres on Goodreads slapping 'space opera' on pretty much everything.
Is this kind of a pointless endeavor?

Don't forget, it's
your library. Looking at Goodreads or something might help I guess. But I only use tags in Calibre that make sense to me. And don't be afraid to make up tags to suit your needs.
I mostly stick to major categories: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and I label most general fiction as Literary, because I just wanted to have something to call it.
I like nautical tales. So I label anything from
Jaws to
The Ghost from the Grand Banks to
Something's Alive on the Titanic as Underwater in addition to whatever genre tags I assign.
