I have similar problems in my project. I have a custom link step that takes
2 or so minutes on my fast machine. I'm currently working to make it
possible to use the <tag> features directly on the targets which would
remove that extra link step, if you are consistent with the names.

Yes that's correct. The only fake target is for the stage itself. But if you
are only interested in getting the stage results. You could just add
<suppress>true to the non-stage targets.
