Assuming access is only possible using a ssh key+password through
NoMachine.  I'm honestly not very well versed in networking and
confused every time I get into it, but as far as I understand, the
main attack surface here would that the transmission might be less
secure rather than the login itself, right?

So you're connecting to Tailscale then using NoMachine to finest to a
targets Tailscale IP? That's secure mate, you songs have no concerns
with that setup.

As long as all communication is encrypted it’s as secure as the
encryption algorithm you use.
