That still seems much harder to me. Instead of just adding "PERF" to my commit messages, and later grepping for "PERF", I have to pull up a separate window each time, and remember that performance changes are indicated by a lightning bolt.

Tbh that's a very weak consideration, as it's ingrained through standardization throughout the codebase. And if this is for codebases you're not familiar with, then PERF is hardly gauranteed to.produce useful results (it certainly isn't standard in my own codebases).
Much more dangerous is people expanding on emoji-tagging with things like COLOR and similar VARIANTS, or an explosion of tags like being suggested in this article, making it even harder to use/memorize the system
But worst of all is that emoji are ugly and ruin the aesthetic of anything they come in contact with
