Lol no, Tailscale is incredibly simple, even if you don't have any idea how any of this works. Just install a client on your device, sign in, and you're on the same network as your other devices. The fact that you have an opnsense router means that you're comfortable with a level of networking complexity that most people simply cannot handle.
Fair, but I guess we could agree that a lot of people on this community are not exactly matching your "most people" bin. Having alternatives is always a good idea. And taken that some people run HA on pretty exotic hardware, there is a chance that tailscale doesn't work with it (albeit I agree they do a pretty good job in supporting as much platforms and distros as possible). Talking about alternatives... There is netbird as well ;)
