I am rather neutral in respect to this change.
I like that tags are aligned (so I am not going to set
`org-auto-align-tags' to nil), but generally I do not bother. I have
some old headings where tags were typed directly and so they are not
aligned.
It was painful when I accidentally hit an extra key and got all tags
realigned. I had to spend some time to avoid committing unintended
changes. I am unsure if the proposed patch will alleviate similar issues
since it allows to disable realignment only. In my case some tags were
shifted by a space or two. Perhaps some editing commands (refile & Co)
do not call `org-align-tags', perhaps it was direct kill and yank
bypassing Org edit structure commands, so there was no chance to get
properly aligned tags after editing.
In that thread tag alignment was just an example when minor user mistake
can lead to global changes.

Some general considerations.
There should be a way to align tags for a specific heading even when
`org-auto-align-tags' is nil.

Instead of repetitive changes I would consider either checking
`org-auto-align-tags' inside `org-align-tags' or introducing a macro.
