I think we'll be fine for a while. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Tags , the most-used tag (references
removed) has been used over half a million times. There are five tags used
>100k times, and they add up to about 1.8 million. Overall the number of tagged
revisions on enwiki is probably about 2 million.

Based on a quick toolserver query, the number of edits by logged-in users in
the main namespace in the hour between 18:15 UTC and 19:15 UTC today (Nov 21)
was about 4,500. Even if all those edits used VE, it would take 18 days for
VE-tagged edits to reach 2 million at that pace. That's kind of fast, but it's
slow enough that we'll have time to respond. I made change tagging configurable
and turned it on by default. If it causes problems, we can turn it off.
