Can we set a Git default to fetch all tags during a remote pull?

The --force option is useful for refreshing the local tags. Mainly if you have floating tags:

git fetch --tags --force

The git pull option has also the --force options, and the description is the same:

When git fetch is used with <rbranch>:<lbranch> refspec, it refuses to update the local branch <lbranch> unless the remote branch <rbranch> it fetches is a descendant of <lbranch>. This option overrides that check.

but, according to the doc of --no-tags:

By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally.

If that default statement is not a restriction, then you can also try

git pull --force

A simple git fetch --tags worked for me.

You should be able to accomplish this by adding a refspec for tags to your local config. Concretely:

[remote "upstream"]
    url = <redacted>
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
