I think they were used a character growth devices for Taichi and Jun. It shows Taichi's mature enough to deal with it and think of Sora's feeling first while Jun gets over crush and goes after Shuu (Who I ship her with! Doesn't help one drama cd hinted they were together).
At any rate, when it comes to writing fanfic, I stay away from this issue. Either I just don't mention it out of an excuse to keep characters out of a plot or no one's mentioned being together at all.
Speaking of fanfic, has anyone heard of fusion fic? Where you take the plot of another series, slapped the characters another into it, and adjust things accordingly? I've been having a Digimon/Mai Otome fic idea that has distracted me from my work all day!
