Using the AEAD tag at the end is the standard way of doing AEAD. Several APIs even only support the tag at the end (e.g. mbed TLS). Having the tag at the front or end makes no difference for security but allows streaming HW implementations like NICs to be much more efficient as they do not need to buffer a whole packet content and encrypt it to finally write the tag but instead just add the calculated tag at the end of processing.
