And yet I feel like they picked Tara because they ultimately didn't know what to do with a character like Tara and so they felt she'd be more effective in death. And I feel like that's part of what the "bury your gays" is talking about. Sometimes characters ARE more effective in death, but that's usually because they lives aren't prioritized prior to their death.

I think you're right about that, though it doesn't change the fact that the way her death is written and fits into the narrative of the season works for me on a personal level.

The real thrust of the secret, I guess, is that I don't generally take issue with individual instances of Kill You Gays (any more than I take issue with individual instances of fridging or of Man Pain). The individual instances of these tropes may or may not strike me as boring and tiresome, but I'm unlikely to find them genuinely objectionable, except in a few particularly egregious cases. It's the fact that they are such a common trope that I find objectionable.
