This is how I do it. No striping, normal partitions, different hard drive sizes, pretty easy. This way makes upgrades super easy too. Currently running 76TB mergerfs with 2 14TB Snapraid parity drives.
This honestly sounds like the best solution to this particular problem.
It can be just like you’ve said. You can also run tailscale directly on the system hosting a service and access it directly over the tailscale network.
