Ideally any ISP resorting to CGN would be providing IPv6 support, but Tailscale shows that nat hole-punching can work well [1]. I'm not sure if that's feasible to implement in a web browser though.

It can work okay, but still not perfectly. Before I asked my ISP for a static address, tailscale connections between my place and my partner's only managed to maintain a direct connection half the time. The other half of the time, they required a relay.
