Starting with Emacs 25, the default key bindings for tag navigation were mostly given to Xref, but the tags commands they were previously bound to are still available. Xref abstracts over multiple identifier-searching backends (one of them being the tags backend).
etags-update.el is a global minor mode that will update your TAGS when you save a file. It can also offer to add a file to your TAGS if it is not already indexed. Lisp:etags-u.el is able to update/remove file from TAGS file, and have minor mode for updating after saving a file.
