Well, tags have been used for tarball releases and 13.3 is still the latest one. So you can't say we've stopped using tags. On main, the current version is in auctex.el's "Version:" header and the variable AUCTeX-version shows that, too. If you installed from GNU-devel ELPA or run from the repository, it'll be something like 14.0.6.2024-06-30_22:58:10, i.e., version + timestamp of HEAD (where the timestamp might actually be the build timestamp if git is not installed or the repo is not a git repo).
