It looks like a VPN is the option I’m leaning towards, but I’ll definitely put the idea of buying a domain in my back pocket for a while.

That’s the whole point of a domain. Your IP changes every now and again you need people to know where to reach you. You give them a domain, and you configure the name records so that the domain always points to the right IP address.
Your options:
Domain is the cleanest option.
I am telling you how annoying it is because that’s how likely your friends are to adopt it and how secure it is because depending on your country you are doing something illegal and you really don’t want anyone to find out and you gotta keep it updated more often if you don’t want people to exploit it. There’s an endless supply of very smart people out there who use known bugs to target public services.

Some .xyz domains cost less than 1$. Mine is 0,85$/year
What do you do, randomise it every year?
Nah same domain, 0,85$/year. It’s 8 numbers + .xyz

You left out DDNS. It’s free, easy to set up with lots of detailed guides online, and works as well as a static IP.
I added a reference to your comment
yeah I forgot that one. I had to rush the comment a bit.
