Most anarchists who are serious are far from tankies. In fact, in my experience, I clash with anarchists because I feel they’re too idealistic and unwilling to use repression on any negative element of society.
There are anarchists who converge with tankies, but generally those are the terminally online sorts who are lonely and seeking a sense of community, rather than committed ideologues.

That may be the case outside of the web, but pretty much every anarchist I have run into has been just a tankie that didn’t like the title.
