It would be great if "git remote update" could also verify the tag signature (if present), as most of us just do a "git remote update".

Maybe an extra parameter for git config remote.tagopt?

Ok, if in doubt, we can always use git tag -v <new tag>, but doing it automagically would help us to detect if a git tag got mangled by some at the moment we update our trees, with seems to be a good idea.
