For Tailscale backup access, another way is to block port 22 on a firewall and then only unblock it if you need access.

If you depend on the host behind Tailscale to access the firewall from the inside then that's not going to work. Most colos I have hardware at offer a separate network for iDRAC/ILO/your flavor of OOB management, I like to use the console through that to open/close stuff like this.
