I don’t really tag anyway, but Photos does scan your library, so you can search for things like “birds” and it will hopefully find all your bird photos. It also searches for faces and allows you to tag people. It‘s not perfect, but it has done a good job sorting my 3 kids from birth to present day. I do use albums, both shared and regular, but even that, not so much. I’m sure I could organize better. I‘ve just never been good at that one.
 
Once Big Sur gets out and about....and the photo app makers have one product for all Apple machines, it should be much easier to get serious phot editing software for the iPad instead of having to use a laptop running a desktop app. This should all make for a very interesting 2021.
