Having set up OpenVPN a few times, and troubleshooting Cisco VPN, the new thing unique to Tailscale is that it just works. It takes a few seconds to connect each new machine. It took me way more just to find out how I should configure Cisco's VPN client, and I do not ever want to even think about OpenVPN again. I've also maintained a WireGuard mesh where I distributed keys and set up /etc/hosts via ansible: add a host to the inventory file, run the playbook - simple. Yet Tailscale is even simpler than that. And (for my purposes at least) it's free.
