Currently we have a tag errors-erratum with erratum being the sole synonym. I see no reason to have tag with such a convoluted name and not use the synonym system for this.
I thus propose to:
Is there any problem or better solution I am missing?

I think the only potential problem is that “errors” might be misused for other types of mistakes, rather than for mistakes in publishing. Your solution of errata with the synonym erratum (no mention of “errors”) avoids this potential problem.
errors
, you get offered/shown [errata] with a note “also: errors”. If you ignore this, and leave errors
standing, it would get converted once you submit the question. (Except for the last step, best test it yourself.) This slightly lowers the threshold in comparison to the existing situation where just leaving errors
in the tag field would alert you that you are about to create a new tag (and, if applicable, that you lack the reputation for that).
