partially. .. I think it can be solved with plugins now. ... My unilink 
plugin <https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/uni-link/>may be an option.

TiddlyWiki contains a new mechanism now, that "batch renames" all existing 
tags, if you rename a tiddler title. .. So if you change a tag-tiddler the 
core will do the batch processing. 

This doesn't change links like: [[tag-name-here]] in tiddler text. ... But 
if you rename your tiddlers a lot you will have a lot of 
[[prettylinks|tag-name-tiddler]] anyway. Otherwise your text will be hard 
to read. ... The alias-plugin, which is part of uni-link will help your 
here. -> No renaming needed!

There are many users, where the existing mechanism works well, for a really 
long time. ... 

I know, that naming tiddlers is hard! .. That's why I use uni-link ;) and a 
theme, that doesn't use tiddler titles as a heading. see: 
https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/slant-01/  My tiddler names look like: 
this-is-a-tiddler-name, which I don't change anymore. ... 

I use "real headings" at the tiddler body, which allows me to use the 
tiddler title as an "index" and I can change the heading as often as I 
want. "caption" and "subtitle" are very handy here.

This works well with the above mentioned plugins, which don't break TWs, 
that don't use the plugins, if you copy your texts. (but the functionality 
will be different!)

Partially yes. The whole core javascript code and UI uses the tiddler title 
as a heading. .... because it's easy for new users.

Yes. ... If you really want to have it in a different way, without 
regressions in functionality, you better start from scratch. It would be 
much less work.

IMO it's a plugin- and not a core-problem. 

have fun!
