Do standing desk anti-fatigue mats help tall people?

Yes, but they add 0.5-1 inch of effective height that must be factored into your desk height calculation. Anti-fatigue mats reduce leg and foot discomfort during standing sessions significantly — they are recommended for everyone regardless of height. Choose a mat that is at least 30 x 20 inches to allow natural weight shifting. Standing in one position without a mat causes fatigue much faster.
