Tail emission isn't a bug it's intentional for mining security. Bitcoin is taking a risk that tx fees alone will be adequate and consistent enough to pay miners once block subsidy runs out.

You can run a node or add up block rewards (they're transparent when first mined) to know how much Monero is circulating.
