Having all users have the ability to edit tags, at least all users over a certain karma threshold, sounds to me like a good way to have this get done without subadmins. So what am I missing?

Sure, a karma threshold works great for stack overflow (though it has lots of other details to encourage the OP to get it right). But I don't think eliminating the ability to pick the subadmins saves you much programming effort. (It might be worth it to save administration effort.) Also, you need a change log to detect abuse of tags. SO does this by putting tag edits on the main change log.
