Like adding the author and a tag and stuff)

If you disable the metadata writer then calibre cannot update metadata in the book, e.g., changes made in calibre. I know it will affect send to the device, save to disk, downloading via the content server, and polish books. It could affect the editor embedding metadata. It could affect plugins like quality check. And possibly, indeed probably, more.
Personally, I wouldn't do it because it is using a huge hammer to fix a small problem. Instead I would directly copy the file to the device, perhaps using Save to disk with the device's books folder as the target. Save to disk supports turning off updating metadata during the save.
