I recommend using several sources, my personal priority order is: the wiki, taginfo, mailing lists. > Using a tag that is not on the wiki will probably mean it is not rendered. rendered where? Many if not even most of the tags that are described in the wiki are actually not rendered on the OSM-Carto style. > . thus I may have wasted my effort. > > -1, there are lots of other uses for the data besides the one stylesheet that is the first on the list on OSM's homepage. If the tag is interesting for a general purpose map, chances are not bad it'll sooner or later get implemented also in the Carto-OSM stylesheet. If people were only using tags that get rendered right now in this style sheet, there wouldn't be any tagging progress at all (meaning also that a lot of features could not be described at all), and if we would have been working like this 10 years ago, there wouldn't be any map at all now.
