something like 95% stays local and is remote accessed via wireguard, The rest is stuff I need to host via a hostname with a trusted cert because apps I use require that or if I need to share links to files for work, school etc. For the external stuff I use Cloudflare tunnels just because I use DDNS and want to avoid/can't use port forwarding. works well for me.

Just in case you missed this, you can issue valid HTTPS Certificates with the DNS challenge. I use LetsEncrypt, DeSEC and Traefik, but any other supported provider with Lego (CLI) would work.
I expose most things to the web so long as they have auth and 2FA options. The one exception being my Jellyfin server. I share it with friends and needed to make it as easily accessible as possible.
With Cloudflare WAF, reverse proxy, and an isolated subnet with IDP I feel comfortable with public services. Nothings perfect but if they get through it and pwn my lab I’ll just nuke it and rebuild.
Nearly all of them. Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Vaultwarden, Spacebar, and 2fAuth, all set behind an NGINX Reverse Proxy, SWAG. SWAG made it very easy to set up https and now I can throw anything behind a subfolder or subdomain.
Jellyfin and Miniflux are internet facing because it would be turbo annoying otherwise to deal with them
Everything is accessible through VPN (Wireguard) only
Same. Always on VPN on phone for on the go ad blocking via pihole.
Same here. Taught my wife how to start WireGuard on her android phone and then access any of the services I run. This way I only have one port open and don't have to worry too much.
How about running your wireguard server on a VPS and then connecting to the same interface as clients from your mobile and home network? No ports open on your side!
That's what I do. The beauty of wireguard is that it won't respond at all if you don't send the right key. So from the outside it will appear as if none of your ports are open.
Everything is accessible, but only through n2n vpn.
Everything exposed except NFS, CUPS and Samba. They absolutely cannot be exposed.
Like, even my DNS server is public because I use DoT for AdBlock on my phone.
Nextcloud, IMAP, SMTP, Plex, SSH, NTP, WordPress, ZoneMinder are all public facing (and mostly passworded).
A fun note: All of it is dual-stacked except SSH. Fail2Ban comparatively picks up almost zero activity on IPv6.
Nothing outside the LAN. Just Tailscale installed on my Synology NAS, on HomeAssistant and on all my machines.
