There is an old but still reasonable solution with mkinitcpio hooks encrypt/sd-encrypt + ssh, which is very easy to set up with EFI or grub2 onward. Tailscale is probably overkill for this use case, given that you're already exposing pre-/early- boot to the network by setting up interfaces that early. This became much more hermetic with secureboot and TPMs, too.

TPM definitely rises the effort by a lot to break it. But by default the communication with it is not encrypted, so especially for modules not built into the cpu wire/bus-tapping is a thing.

Just use fTPM?
