I’m somewhat interested. I think we should also try to provide a bit of info on why we want help on the topic and any time limit. “wanted—a breakdown of Russ Robert’s worldview and disagreements with EA because I’m curious” is totally valid but lower priority than “wanted—a breakdown of Russ Robert’s worldview and disagreements with EA to look for important criticisms of EA, because next month I’ll be starting a project to look for solutions to those criticisms”
I’d propose trying this exactly as you described but without the extra default-tag. As mentioned in a private discussion recently, I’m keen to keep the default number of tags small. Too many draws the eye for distraction. When you’re just getting started, I know the site is actually a fair bit complex, and distraction hurts your ability to figure it out in the back of your head when you’re mainly looking at content.
At first glance, I like the general idea, as well as the specific proposed mechanism. (This doesn’t mean I think it’s the best mechanism possible—I haven’t tried to think of alternatives.)
And trying it seems probably low-cost.
This idea seems to overlap with the Get Involved tag, and many posts might warrant both tags, but I think the scope/use of the two tags is distinct enough that making this new one makes sense.
What do you think about this? Should we try it out?
Do you have better mechanisms?

I’ll try to open
