Unfortunately despite claiming that they would, they've never allowed their iOS application to allow configuration of the control server (every other client they have released does). Maybe some more funding will allow them to focus on the client quality.

also, their iOS client still has abysmal background battery usage even when not connected. It has been more than a year now, so, yes, seeing them improve in such areas would be cool.

But given the huge amount of money invested, pressure will go into other directions. I'm afraid my (aside of the iOS issues) beloved Tailscale is on a path to expensive enterprisey bloat, losing what made it so good (the JSON based ACLs, the external authentication provider reliance, etc - GitHub Auth is a killer-feature for me for example)
