The obvious question: Do you want to access your server only from within your network or also from anywhere else?

Good question. I’m only interested in accessing it from my home network and through my tailscale network.

Then you don’t need to inform the rest of the world about your domain. Just use the hostname of the server on your tailnet and it should work all the time

Wouldn’t that require me to use tailscale even at home on my home network? It also does not provide HTTPS unless you maybe use magic DNS, but then we’re back to using a public domain I guess.

Yeah it would but it would not route your traffic through internet if both devices can communicate with each other over LAN.
DNS have nothing to do with SSL. Tailscale provide routing. It does not change applications running on the server.
TS have some convenient features to set up SSL but you cannot choose the domain name freely. I bet you can purchase a domain which redirects to ts domain id you want.
