I hope that there is no possibility of "damaging" my precious FLAC files by this constant tagging, re-tagging, and then tag some more approach that is now dominating my life?

Retagging won't damage the files, but as with any operation that changes bits on a computer disk, hardware or software failures can occur. For this reason, it's advisable to have a full backup of all your files on a separate computer or storage medium before you start any major retagging operation.

That is probably my next priority. I am getting increasingly paranoid that I am going to lose all of my data. The Synology is my first NAS and I know that it is suposed to keep a copy of the data so that if one of the drives fails, it is backed up on the other. But.... computers.....

I am thinking of getting a second NAS - copying the data to it, switching it off and keeping it in a fireproof safe. What do most folks do?

Secondly is there some clever way of getting MP3Tag (or some other programme) to create the "Composition" tag, then copy the value for "Album Title" into that field? I can see that "Composition" is going to be very useful, but I only found out it existed a couple of hours ago :-)
