I tag my files on macOS since the OpenMeta days. But I refuse to access any library with an application frontend, it's the file system or nothing. These Librarian apps are good for metadata management. That's what I use them for.
However, I am mostly on Windows, these days, so no chance for filesystem tags, even worse now, that I have all my eBooks on a home server.
