Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This request is not related to a real "problem", it more a general question to get some grasp on feasability. It is strictly related to Zigbee capable tags.

Describe the solution you'd like
Home assistant already provides a native way to talk to Zigbee devices. Would it be possible and feasible to get ZHA and/or Z2MQTT talk directly to the tags or are there any special quirks on how these tags use the wireless link? The basic idea would be to eliminate the need of Wifi -> Zigbee AP tags, which while quite elegant, also imply having to have multiple parallel Zigbee networks running. Besides that it could eliminate the need to build such a bridge tag yourself.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keeping everything as is is always an option :)
