I have seen at customers every once in a while small NAS device e.g. from Synology #Ad in branch offices which were used for various purposes.
This is a good endpoint to use Tailscale to make it available to other branch offices or the head office and also to be able to provide a route into this network of the branch office without the need to a complex VPN site to site installation.
