Yes, but there's a judgement call. Some crutches are - usually - useful. For example, I don't generally remember telephone numbers now, they're all in the phone's memory. But even then, it's occasionally useful to remember numbers.
Knowing and using and working to remember someone's name is a sign of politeness. Using name tags, to me, says "I don't need to remember your identity, so I won't bother".
In the acting world, I'm told, there is a similar problem of meeting lots of people, getting friendly with them, then having difficulty remembering their names a while later...
And this why actors call everyone "darling".

I change my shirt lots through an evening so I doubt that a 'shag tag' would work for me. It is also very much the 'thing' at meat market singles pick up joints, where the constant THUMP THUMP THUMP of the music makes any conversation almost impossible.
I have never been in a situation where I thought... I wish s/he was wearing a name tag so I knew what they were called. Although I have sometimes said "Hi I'm Nathan, what's your name?". As such, it seems like a perfect solution to a non-existent problem.
Hrrrumphh........I don't remember getting that little luxury from you Stokie, I just got dragged onto the dancefloor, lol.
I personally wouldn't like to see name tags myself.......it would be all too much if you finally managed to commandeer a dance with someone you'd had your eye on all night, only to find out that his name was Hugh Jass (or worse)
......ok, ok I know surnames wouldn't be there....but then it wouldn't be s'funny
