Use of tag characters in a private encoding - is it valid please?

The tag characters being default ignorable, I would expect a single
missing‐glyph glyph (representing the private‐use code point) to be more
likely, though your mileage may vary.   Here, for example, is a sequence
containing 15 tag characters between a private‐use base and the CANCEL TAG:
⟨􏿽󠁔󠁨󠁩󠁳󠀠󠁩󠁳󠀠󠁡󠀠󠁴󠁥󠁳󠁴󠀮󠁿⟩
