Keep or delete [qgis-3] version tag?
I believe that QGIS 3.0 and QGIS 3.2 are essentially the same series. QGIS 3.4 comes out 26/10/2018 and also belongs in the same series.
Additionally, a lot of plugins and features are being ported ...

Merging [pyqgis] and [pyqgis-3] tags
I would argue that pyqgis-3 should not be a synonym of pyqgis because with QGIS 3, pyqgis uses python3 and Qt5 (as compared to Python2 and Qt4).
The difference is significant, and there are many ...

Using version tags for PostgreSQL
I think that for most questions the version doesn't matter, where it does I think adding the version info to the question is sufficient.

python-X vs pythonX tags
I would opt for sticking with python-3 because, as @MrXsquared has commented, there is a space between "Python" and "3" at the Python 3.0 Release home page.
Also, this would keep it aligned with ...

Is [software-version] tag needed?
No.
It looks like the usage within the few questions it does have are about differences between different versions of a software/application or where to find specific versions of software.

Keep or delete [qgis-3] version tag?
It is not clear in MapInfoNewbie's answer what to do with the qgis tag, hence, I assume the suggestion there (in response to what was asked in question) is just to eliminate/synonymize minor version ...

Should [Oracle-18c] tag be added?
If we are looking at some Oracle tags then I think it may be worth looking at them in context with all our Oracle tags.
If you use [*oracle*] in the search bar it expands to [oracle] or [oracle-...

Are version tags needed for ArcGIS Pro?
As each dot release of ArcGIS Pro has occurred I have wondered whether or not version tags for it might be desirable.

Merging [qgis] and [qgis-3] tags
In the early days of this site there was considerable debate about whether and when to use version tags. At that time, I was a proponent of version tags.

Support for ASPRS LAS v1.4.
Support for GDA2020.
Classify LAS building and Tile LAS tools.

Synonymizing ArcGIS dot release tags with ArcGIS major release tags?
Yes.
I think we should make:
all the ArcGIS 10.x tags become synonyms of an arcgis-10 tag; and
all the ArcGIS 9.x tags become synonyms of an arcgis-9 tag
The reasons that I think we should do this ...

Implementing new tag for version 4 of ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
We all seem to be in agreement, so I have created tags for arcgis-javascript-api-3 and arcgis-javascript-api-4 to accompany arcgis-javascript-api-2 while leaving arcgis-javascript-api in place.
I ...

I fully agree with the arguments you make in the question, which I consider an answer in itself.

Merging [pyqgis] and [pyqgis-3] tags
I'd agree that pyqgis-3 should be a synonym of pyqgis, and you should suggest it (I don't have enough pyqgis rep to do so myself). but we'll need a mod to create it since SE thinks it's a version ...

Merging [qgis] and [qgis-3] tags

Keep or delete [qgis-3] version tag?
