You can host the independently implemented OSS version yourself: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

For me the headache of running my and maintaining my own server isn’t worth it (+ would still require a GCP/AWS account)

Cool, I didn't know this existed. It seems to be a third party server similar to what vaultwarden does for bitwarden?

But why would it need a gcp or aws account? It could run on any vps right? I'd run it on something much cheaper like scaleway.

It doesn't. You can run it on a VPS and you have an option to use SSO with OIDC integration.
No local logins? I don't really want that SSO stuff. Just a local username/pw combo would be perfect :)
By default, headscale doesn't have a web interface/login as such and all configuration is done via the CLI on the server running headscale. So, your login is effectively PAM. You use authkeys etc to add machines.
