I think Fixes tags helps either way, if the fix is not important enough upstream maintainers should be able to figure that out based on the commit message (or you can give advice on backporting below the --- line, like "Probably not worth backporting"). For the recent features it's quite useful to see the fixes tag so both humans and bots can immediately see its a recent feature and we don't have to worry about backports.
