Why mess with mesh VPNs? Deploy endpoint clients and then push commands to them, which can then run locally on the target machines.
No networking nonsense needed for each machine, the endpoints just connect back to your centralized management server(s), awaiting your command.
This model is popular for a reason.
Agreed. I manage ~200 end-clients like this via MDM.
For servers, saltstack.
You probably are right. Its just a experiment, that's all.
I guess the following are the modt liked:

Maybe even windows remote help tool if you got a AD with microsoft accounts. (For fat clients - thinclients mostly have VNC or you could at least look at what they do by opening their RDP session)
I already have Rustdesk for that but I was looking for something simple to manage a small environment.
Tactical RMM was on my radar for a while but doing more research has made me very much not trust it at all.
I guess I'll keep digging to see if I find anything that can be hosted on a VPS. It might be simpler to just go the standard routes.
