If I am tagging someone in my team, I want that person to instantly get an email notification.
Other events in Trello are not worth sending notification emails about.
Is this possible? Or scheduled as a possibility in the near future?

Notify all members of the board:

Notify all members of the card:
@card
I do not believe Trello has this functionality built in. If you're willing to use another service to get notifications, I recommend checking out this Trello to Google Calendar Zap on Zapier.
The way it works, whenever a card is updated with a due date, the Zap will automatically put the due date onto a Google Calendar. Google Calendar provides many mechanisms for upcoming event notifications including customized notifications, variable-length notifications periods, etc. You should be able to receive these on your mobile device, too!
I should note, to get this Zap to work, you'll need set up a filter (when you set up the Zap) to only trigger on cards and only those with due dates.
Alternatively, you might look at this Zap which is easier to set up, but requires you to immediately choose a due date (within a few minutes of making the card) else the due date won't exist when the Zap triggers.

With Trello free and Trello gold, notifications are controlled by individual users. Click your name, go to settings, then scroll to the Notifications area. You have 3 settings here: never, periodically, and instantly.
As long as notifications are set to periodically or instantly, you will always receive notifications when you are tagged/mentioned in a card.
I don't believe there is a way for an admin to force notification frequency in the bottom tiers of Trello, not without a 3rd party integration (such as pinging a Slack user or channel when mentioned).
