The overwhelming majority of tax liens are ultimately redeemed, so buying in your name in search of anonymity down the road shouldn't be an issue. 

Biggest downside is that they have a prepayment penalty, so that's something you'll want to consider if you think you might want to refinance in the next couple of years. 3-5 year penalties are common, but you can choose to buy it down to a shorter period of time if you'd like.
