Tape is the little brother of the compression (knee) brace.
It might not do a whole lot, but a little is better than nothing at all.
I use a compression brace on my knee when im doing some physical activity i probably shouldn't be doing (Done my ACL, never had surgery - pops out under strain) and i have never done my knee with it on. Yes its restrictive, yes it makes you sweaty, but if it holds it together better than without it, then its a small sacrifice. Knee taping would be the same, albeit a little less helpful (?). If you do it tight enough, its probably better.
