Open folder in tab with keyboard?

As I understand it, to open folders in a new tab instead of replacing the content of the current Finder window or in a new window, in Finder Preferences::General I must check "Open folders in tabs instead of in new windows," and hold the Cmd key while double-clicking on a folder within a Finder window.

Is there no way to open a folder into a new tab using Cmd-O to open it?

Control+command+O will open a selected folder in a new tab with the preceding Finder Preferences setting that you mentioned.

macOS 11.2.2.
