To the point about using those tags when they don't have direct bearing on the focus of the story: I kind of mostly agree, but I've also used tags like 'Female Protagonist' and 'Female Character in Command' to hunt down new fandoms/characters that I might be interested in, so I can also see a use for doing so in that sense?

To the point about associating tags with warnings: I use the AO3 tags as sort of a secondary, less focused summary system, highlighting tropes of interest in the story. So, yes, I use it for warnings, but also as an advertisement. Things like 'comrades in arms', 'magic and science', 'wing kink', 'alternate universe', 'enemies to lovers', 'spies and secret agents', 'rescue', 'protectiveness', etc, are to draw in people who like those sorts of things, while things like 'violence', 'dubious consent', 'aftermath of torture', etc are to warn people what they're getting themselves into in the process.

Of course, this being fandom, you can also handily swap those lists and also get a viable reading. One person's warning is another person's advertisement, after all ...
