So when you need to do a hotfix, how do you know which commit to branch from if you do not tag the releases that were deployed to production?

To me the only additional complication of gitflow to trunk-based development is the existence of the main branch, because you also create a release branch when you want to make a release. Getting rid off the main branch is usually through tagging, but as I mentioned is not easy to automate the tagging when you do not have an additional branch to use in your pipeline.
