Question

So in case of tailstorm, you'd keep going on some

tip, then another subchain branch is formed and it gets longer, you continue to follow that one but keep the other - all same like now, right?

but then a summary block is announced - it references both your current best tip + the other stale tip (and you'll already have those block(s)), so you'll have validated and stored all of that already, all you gotta do is validate headers/pow + any new TXs appearing in summary block

that would be a reorg, which is costly messy and breaks loads of assumptions. The situation is extremely rare.
