Tailscale is fine, problem is I have to keep my phone connected to the tail network, which drains the battery. I do have a tailscale subnet router running under my network so I can fix things remotely.

Tailscale is definitely the most frictionless solution. But you will then rely on tailscale instead of cloudflare, so not ideal. You can also host Headscale so you do not have to rely on them either.

I’ve never heard of headscale. Can you hook this up to a domain like you can with cloudflare tunnels? That was my main reason for using it. Being able to just hand my family member a domain to point to and see audiobooks

Yes you can, easiest is called tailscale funnel, you’ll just get a url leading to whatever you have hosted. Slightly more complicated is either installing tailscale on family devices and use it as a VPN (so your service is safely shielded from the public internet ), or you can use a reverse proxy on a cheap/free tier VPS.
