The thing that sold me on it was managing remote (and I mean remote - like in a field in west Virginia with solar + cell) nodes. We started with using manually provisioned wireguard tunnels, but wg isn't great at things like failing over. Plus, our core infrastructure is on a slightly dynamic IP and we didn't want to route image upload through GCP. Tailscale made this problem go away . And then we got hooked on it for all developer access, having GitHub actions be able to push into our deployment, etc. It's pretty magical.
