I used to LOVE tailscale. Then I put wireguard on my home network exposed to the internet with a dynamic DNS provider and it immediately became irrelevant. Not only is raw wireguard more stable (I don't have to fight the DNS issues on my mobile phones) it feels faster and is amazingly simple to set up.
Tailscale takes two minutes to setup and you can add more devices with zero configuration.
WireGuard takes 30 mins to an hour to set up, you'll need to configure port forwarding, DDNS, create keys for each device, and add them to each device manually. But you have 100% control.
Performance-wise, I haven't noticed a difference. My internet connection maxes out way before Tailscale hits any performance limits.

Tailscale wins for convenience.
