The tape is installed so the EPDM will not be grabbed by a screw head or uneven seam when installing. If you're confident that all screw heads are countersunk, all seam edges are even, and your adhesive will hold the membrane in place, you don't have to tape anything.
If I was doing it, I'd use filler on the seams and screw locations. A small canister of organic filler is less than $5 and time involved on a 24' x 8' roof is less than 1/2 hour. Troweling the filler on will discover any screw heads protruding above the surface.
Your fastener schedule sounds right on.
