Lately I have noticed a bunch of fics with the wrong relationship tags, using A/B for a platonic relationship or A&B for a romantic ship.

It's not like there is a large number of people doing this or anything, but in the back of my mind I'm already freaking out about this ending up like the word "literally" now meaning "figuratively" too.

And even without taking into account my internal drama queen tendencies, it's annoying as fuck to be looking for shippy content and find platonic friendship or to be looking for familial fluff and getting hit with unexpected incest.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to be annoyed about. If they have some sort of anonymous commenting available, you could try telling them? (With the awareness that they might turn around and scream at you, JSYK)
If it's on AO3, you can tell the mods the work is miss-tagged - I once told them about a fic that was tagged as "No Archive Warnings Apply" and that had underage rape in the first chapter, and they got back to me to say the author wasn't answering their emails, but they'd used their mod powers to change the tag to "Chose Not To Warn", which I thought was good.

The 'literally/figuratively' can be a figure of speech in some cases, where as the 'a/b, a&b' is just using the tags wrong.
Literally still means literally, its just a common misunderstood word that people don't need clarification for. I know I've probably used them interchangeably before, but that's because I speak like a valley girl.
