Why would you ever need option 2/3 when the IAP exists? Is there stuff that doesn’t work over a tunneled connection?

the iap is an http proxy, so you need a way to send non-http traffic. this might require client modifications (not everything is proxy-aware), and you can't always modify the source.

some protocols are udp and latency sensitive, which doesn't work well enough tunneled
