That there aren't remote tracking tags is a bug, the reason to have remote tracking isn't purely to watch modifications, but to see where a ref came from.
The git version that's about to be released has a fetch.pruneTags feature I wrote which has more caveats than it should have because of missing remote tracking for tags.
There was a patch series to implement remote tracking for tags a while ago, but it's a lot of work to get right so it stalled. Hopefully it'll be re-visited.
