Yeah this was exactly my point. And this only works if the IPs for the VPN are fairly static. I have no idea if they are. But given that I have heard discussions about doing this I assume that is the case. I mean I have done exactly this (using a VPS) to get around some of the restrictions I see.

Same here. Running WireGuard on a VPS in Seattle.

Paying $10 a month, but that's just because I also use that VPS for OwnCloud as well.

Sorta the same but using headscale. So yeah wireguard with extra steps.
