Tailscale is a system service / DevOps deploy-time architectural middleware tool for putting entire devices onto managed OS-level networks. Iroh is a development-time library for building software that forms open decentralized application-specific networks. The closer comparison for Iroh would be to something like libp2p. (Or maybe libzmq, given its toolkit-of-very-well-thought-out-primitives approach. I might describe Iroh as the decentralized complement to libzmq.)
