How does headscale hold up when you're streaming video over jellyfin/plex?
I’ve used it extensively to stream video across continents. No issues as long as you can get a P2P connection going. If it needs to go through a DERP server, then it may suffer but in my experience that’s pretty rare.

It's semi-frequent in my case, and it's painful every time it does that since Tailscale's official DERP servers are very slow (they seem to have some aggressive QoS). It would be nice if Tailscale supported using regular TURN servers so I could just use one of the hosted solutions.
Do you mean when using it as a relay because p2p connectivity isn't possible? The preferred operating mode of Tailscale networks is for the bulk of traffic to go p2p, using various tricks for NAT and firewall traversal.
