MultiTagEditor works great to select all of the projects I want to change realm of, as I name all of my projects with a kind of area prefix. So, I can quickly (compared to any other method) delete one realm's tag from a set of project tiddlers and add a different realm tag to the same set of project tiddlers.
I can then use 'Mis-Matched Realms' to find all of the tiddlers within those projects. This bit is much more time consuming, but I'll get there in the end. Any chance of a fix to the bug (Project realms and action realms being different) in the foreseeable future? I'd hate to spend hours changing all of these tags, and then noticed that it's fixed in an update in the not too distant future.
