When I saw the new round, I was instantly worried about change in direction that will most likely come with this, and effectively drive away regular users from a tool that seems universally loved.

Similar sentiment can be seen in the discussion from three years ago [1] when they raised $100M.

Try netbird which is an open-source alternative to free yourself from worries xD https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird

I've always been on the outside looking in, so I've never used Tailscale or its open-source brethren.

Would this service be comparable to Headscale[0]?

Headscale is server only. Netbird is the whole stack (basically does the same thing but completely different software/implementation)

But the tailscale client is open source too

Not on Windows and iOS. And on the mac, the most useable client isn’t open source either.
