Not really answering anything but on the subject of draft issues: is there a way to apply a template to Draft issues (with the tags and not only copying the body of the template from a new issue)?
Well, when you click "convert to issue" it prompts you to select which repo to put it in.
But once you select a repo, no template is used. (I just tried.)
So no, I don't think this is supported. You could ask at https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/projects-and-issues about this.
