Is there any simple FOSS alternative to tailscale that you can self-host?
The only thing I need is to simply connect to the home network and I dont want to need to open and forward ports etc in routers and firewalls for it to work, just something simple plug and play and is secure.

That's tailscale, basically. Install on devices and they can magically talk to each other across the internet with no other configuration.
If you really want to, you can run headscale and manage the coordination plane yourself as well.
No it's not the same as normal wireguard with some 'just works' config sauce. Devices can connect directly and also find the best way to do it. For example two devices in the same office will create a direct path between them without having to go through the off-site vpn server.
