Yes.

I use tags extensively and think they're both easier and faster if you
already know what to look for.

'man route' then page down in whatever way still means you need to skim
over the content and the size of the steps, i.e. the amount of mental
overhead, depends on your window size.

'man route' and ":twhatever" brings you immediately to the thing you
need, quick "q" and you're back to work with minimal distraction.

Complexity seems low and is a one-time thing, which yields better
accessibility not just in interative manual reading.

There are certainly more pages, but manual tagging should still be done
on a per-case basis.

Your ps(1) example is quite similar, but I personally look way more
often at 'route show' output than I do at 'ps -o state'.
