Wow, I've never thought about this.
My two related questions were:
1. Does carvedilol have demonstrated efficacy in BPH
2. How much blood pressure room are we creating by stopping tamsulosin

Q1: Does carvedilol work in BPH
Yes!
Two crossover RCTs, n=40-50 w HTN + BPH/LUTS.
PMID 23987161: carvedilol vs enalapril, improved LUTS and urodynamics
PMID 33840085: carvedilol and [terazosin+enalapril] had similar effects on LUTS and urodynamics

Q2: How much BP effect does tamsulosin have
This was more elusive... probably some, with a lot of heterogeneity between patients and reports.
One study below, but would love to see better evidence anyone can point.
