I agree. However organising the processes or cleaning up existing
issues may help us working on things.

*Iff* we decided to migrate to Taiga, we wouldn’t need to fully
migrate our issues, as it could be used as a complementary tool.
However, I am not sure regarding Taiga itself: compared to issue
tracking/organising features of Phabricator, a system we use at work,
it’s not much better (is it better at all?), but I like the appearance
of Phabricator more than of Taiga.

I’m not sure Phabricator itself is what we need either, as it seems to
be more of a all-in-one integrated solution, where bits fit to each
other but don’t really integrate well with external software.
