Perhaps instead of having all users use the same template, they could keep their own templates (or make their own after) and we could just add the category-adding feature to everyone's templates, which shouldn't be too hard since the majority of them are very simple to edit. That way, they could still customize it however they like, but it would still be helping out with sorting the pages.

While this is a good idea on paper, this encourages users to make way too many templates for the same purpose, making management of the templates more difficult instead. It may solve the issue of property tags, but it doesn't solve the issue of content management. It would also make things more confusing for new users, as they wouldn't know what template is which and who owns it. This suggestion is meant to prevent this kind of issue, not make it worse. Sometimes for the betterment of the wiki, some things like custom property templates need to be toned down to make management of the wiki a feasible thing. When things are too difficult to manage, admins will become disinterested in enforcing and keeping things neat and orderly, resulting in less and less quality control because there is way too much to account for when doing as such.
