I'm not handy with emacs-lisp, but perhaps someone could whip up a handy function that iterates org-refile over each TODO heading to move it into a new, top-level * Tasks headline?
Then you can tag the tasks headline with :noexport:. This would destroy the "context", but I find keeping tasks in a separate heading fine for most of *my* medium sized projects. YMMV.
