Well, IMO, it doesn't make much sense to add a caption or a label to an
export block. Just write whatever you want within the block. I.e.:
#+BEGIN_LATEX
\caption{\label{figure:fine_figure}a fine figure}
\input{/home/myles/tex/tikz_figure.tex}
#+END_LATEX
Is there any downside to it?

This thread is about src blocks. Adding a label or a caption is fine for
them.

I don't know. for my graphics, I use Asymptote src-blocks generating
links to pdf files. E.g.:
#+NAME: app
#+BEGIN_SRC asymptote :file application.pdf
import graph;
defaultpen(fontsize(10pt));
unitsize(2cm);
pen p=blue;
real f(real x) { return x**2; }
real g(real x) { return -x + 2; }
draw(graph(f,0,1),p);
draw(graph(g,1,2),p);
xaxis(xmax=2.3,Ticks(Size=1mm,NoZero),Arrow(6pt));
yaxis(ymax=1.3,Ticks(step=.5,Step=1,Size=1mm,NoZero),Arrow(6pt));
label("$O$",(0,0),SW);
label("$C_f$",(1.5,g(1.5)),2N,p);
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_CENTER
#+RESULTS: app
[[file:application.pdf]]
#+END_CENTER
