By the time you include all the relevant tags for a post, you could be dealing with 30 different tags, and this just adds work when you add better organization or change the layout of your site down the road.

They do help in reducing bounce rate and getting extra clicks. I think its better to have about 5-10 categories so it want be too much and let tags define the post more. As you mentioned they do have search engine benefits as well. I think tags and categories still have a place in blogging. They do help in reducing bounce rate and getting extra clicks.
