It's mainly the initial connection bit that Tailscale does that makes it great, in my opinion. The rest of the features are decent too but for me this is the reason I use it https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works Of course if you don't need this, or can set up NAT traversal yourself, and don't need anything else Tailscale does aye set up your own WireGuard network, no worries. All the reasons I use tailscale after initial connection are indeed the same as if I'd set up any other VPN (direct connectivity, secure connection, private connection, etc) At its very basic level it's a nice wrapper around WireGuard that handles the fiddly bits that might stop the initial connection for you.
