I am especially concerned about this action flipping some

I understand the caution, but as a "git debpush" user I really think
this is very unlikely. It doesn't even change the working tree state;
all it does is make a specially-formatted tag and push it. It is
definitely not any kind of one-way switch.
Still something happens in the archive that I don't fully understand. As
far as I understand there is a chance that it will build its own
mypackage_version.orig.tar.gz that might be different from what upstream
has released and signed, with myself being unable to get that file out
of the archive forever, looking as if it was ME who messed things up.
"git debpush --tag-only" is documented in git-debpush(1) as "Just tag,
don't push". That means you can try it out, look at the git state,
and roll back locally if you don't like it.
The interesting things happen after the push.
Greetings
Marc
