I've tried Tailscale recently after reading all the raving reviews here on HN. The service is very easy to install and the apps are nice to use, everything is just very well done.

However, I just don't see much difference from my vanilla Wireguard setup. Granted, my use case is very simple, just connect a few devices at home and in the cloud into a single network and use one of them as an exit node, but I'm still not sure what would make me prefer Tailscale over Wireguard.

So far the biggest difference has been that it makes me use an external identity provider instead of having to manually exchange keys between devices, and I'm not sure I'm very comfortable with that.

NAT and firewall traversal are two other things that Tailscale gives you that you don't easily get with Wireguard alone, FWIW.
