Came here to request this, and I'm glad to see it's already here! Reposting here what I said when I was noodling about it on Cohost:
I overall like the elimination of numbers on posts, but stuff like this
that offers more ways to provide and see direct interaction might help
both encourage that interaction and give creators more feedback. On Tumblr, I would typically use reblog comments and unique tag comments as
the most reliable indication of how a post was received, because it
meant people were talking about it, either to themselves or to
their followers. When I ran the official Tumblr for a game community,
views and even reblogs did not give nearly as much information on player
sentiment as 100+ people adding something like "#LITERALLY FROTHING AT
THE MOUTH RN BARK BARK AWOOOOOOOOO" in the tags.
Agreed. I would appreciate a private feature where I can see suggested tags. Just an anonymous "feedback bin" with no pressure on either OP or the one suggesting it.
Tagging in shares is also how some people prefer to "comment". I think it's harmless (and more discrete than directly commenting), so this form of the feature would be fantastic.

Right now we can add tags on shares and now it shows up on otherwise blank shares
this doesn't show up distinct from any other blank share in the notification feed.
maybe it would be cool to allow folks to see the tags their post was shared with, and even cooler if that ui element also allowed them to quick-add them to the post, if that's possible.
otherwise, it could be cool to have a UI element next to the post showing "users tagged this post with" either visible only to OP, or publicly visible maybe??
so it could serve as a form of tag suggestion for untagged posts and give folks more incentive to put tags on things themselves.
