I don't have your problems with ipv6, and I'm actively using it.

I don't have to rely on extra commercial entities to be able to reach my network.

I did have a problem with hosting my own shit because my ISP by default does cgnat. That cost me an hour of my life to convince a party to give what used to be normal, end to end connectivity.

The tailscale client and the headscale server are both open source, you don't need to rely on commercial entities.
yes you do, the control plane is closed. Only reverse engineered by the headscale project. The control plane is necessary for the peers to find each other. If you need to rely on such a crucial part being reverse-engineered, than yes, I think it's fair to say you are ultimately relying on commercial entities.
Headscale is open source and it already works. You don't need to rely on anyone to use it, or even to improve it.
