Yeah, I'm also undecided. I'm open to the idea of moving from org-tags-completion-function to crm for the reason you give, but, with any proposal for that, I think it'd be important to see an inspection of the current call sites (only a handful) and an analysis of whether we can retain the current behavior. Then again, this isn't the only place that passes a function for completing-read's COLLECTION argument: there's also org-agenda-filter-completion-function. At a glance I think it would be harder to replace with crm. But perhaps we could at least avoid some confusion by explicitly documenting spots where completion frameworks may interact with the intended completion functionality.
