Personally, I use M-TAB completion in the To|Cc etc headers (from
BBDB). So, for me at least, rebinding TAB wouldn't cause me any
suffering.
But really, when you are in the middle of editing some text, a TAB
should be a TAB. Not some other fancy thing. And most people expect
their TABs to be consistent.
