And if you add a new machine to the cluster, which hasn't gotten all tags run against it? Or of a machine was temporarily offline when a tag was run, or...

There are many potential situations where not running a full inventory against a running machine results in a machine not being properly configured.

Then you'll probably be running the whole playbook again, including those settings changes you made before.

>Or of a machine was temporarily offline when a tag was run

Then it'll fail and give you a warning. Shrug your shoulders and run it again?
