I spent 5-6 years in grad school programming/maintaining a Varian 620 minicomputer with high speed tape. I think Tally punch and Oki reader maybe. Photo of our system in use by another grad student at

It got a lot if use and I can't recall ever doing much more than cleaning. Maybe a quick alignment so the hole sensors would sample coincident with the center of the sprocket hole.
It was quite reliable but after I created hardware interface/controller & software to some 9-track mag tape machines, it didn't get used too much.
