Important features like App Connectors won't work with HeadScale.

Unfortunately, HeadScale is not a drop in replacement for TailScale. Most people don't realize this until they start self hosting.

Due to this, I had to migrate from Tailscale to NetBird, which is completely open source.

Is this because HS hasn't implemented it yet (which is on the community), or because Tailscale does something to prevent them from working specifically?

Is it on the community, when TS have said that they won't open source their control plane because HS is good enough / easier to run?

it's a proposed and planned feature by the looks of it :
