Discovered by Berdir in 🐛 ChainedFastBackend invalidates all items when cache tags are invalidated Fixed .
You only need cache tags for plugins if there are multiple variations (e.g. by theme) that can't be programmatically cleared one by one.
::clearCachedDefinitions() is the API for clearing plugin manager caches, and that either directly clears the item or uses the tags if defined.
Workflow module adds a cache tag for its plugin manager, but it's not needed for the plugins themselves, it's used in WorkflowAccessControlHandler to ensure the access changes when the plugin definitions update, which according to the docs is 'until extensions change'.
Installing modules clears all caches, so this should be completely unnecessary.
