I wasn’t familiar with Tailscale. It sounds like just the thing to make Wireguard easy, except for that pesky bit about paying $10 per user per month for every user after the first one.

They can have their Raspberry Pi at their apartment to work on stuff, yet anyone in the auth list can ssh into it (e.g. for help) as if it is on the LAN and point-to-point.  IP addresses don't change even when the device's does and it handles all of the NAT.   https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/  is a nice overview of the setup.
