I also think they are indeed half-sisters, BUT I find it hugely suspicious for Tai to be said to have had two loves within two years (as Ruby and Yang seem to be two years apart). In the episode where Yang tells Blake her family story, she says her father just shut down after losing Summer Rose, Ruby's mother, because he had lost his first love, Yang's mother, before. As far as I understood, she left him, just came back to drop of the baby (Yang) and disappeared again. Even if they split shortly after she became pregnant, it means he moved on from his first love to bang the second after, what, a year or so? Wow, that's true love for you...

Don't get me wrong, it's totally realistic for people to get involved because one comforts a hurt friend (and I guess Summer did that for Tai), maybe it was a fling first to make Tai feel better or Summer had secretely been in love with him before, maybe it would have developed into a true, deep relationship over time if they had had the chance. But I choked on Yang phrasing it as first and second "love"...

Every time Ruby's and Yang's father is mentioned in the show or appears late in volume 3, I have to think about this. I do not think RT really wanted to make him "that" sort of character who simply shifts his emotions to the next woman on his team, so I suspect and hope they will, at some point, explain it in more detail, because this made me somewhat prejudiced against Tai (yup, I know, it's a character flaw of mine; simply being aware of it, however, does not make the feelings go away).
