This faces the problem of inserting a new chapter as I described before...

I really do think this has benefits, because the user doesn't have to
worry about tags, and you could just have a TOC-management interface
where you can sort stuff out, then the navigation would be adjusted to
those settings.

Also, not having tags but just the edit interface is better because
you could then even edit the page navigation info directly from the
management tool (without altering the tags within the page - that
feels a bit hacky).
