There are some community webUIs for Headscale, headplane in particular looks pretty good: https://headscale.net/stable/ref/integration/web-ui/
I'm not sure otherwise how different the experience would be.
I actually did this instead of tailscale first; installing tailscale on a pfsense router was a challenge, iirc i had to find and install the freebsd tailscale pkg from the command line because the plugin doesn't give the option to connect to a non-tailscale control plane.
After I did that and connected to my headscale server (on my vps) I could ping pfsense's local ip over the tailnet, but couldn't get any traffic out from pfsense. Turns out I had forgotten the pfsense tailscale plugin automatically sets up outbound rules for you.
That was a rabbit hole I didn't feeling like falling down, so I turned off headscale and just used tailscale account and the normal pfsense tailscale plugin. But it's there and it does work fine if I ever wanted to go figure out the outbound traffic rules.
