If you're already a Tailscale user, seems like this solution is nearly identical to using Mullvad as an exit node.

You would go with this solution if you don't trust Tailscale or NordVPN, I guess.

I could be wrong but in Tailscale if you use Mullvad as an exit node, the traffic flows directly from your device to Mullvad's servers.

Whereas with Obscura, your traffic flows to the Obscura relay, then the Mullvad exit.

Yes, but your tailnet IP is what is provided to Mullvad's servers. Not your public IP or personally identifiable information (according to Tailscale).

I'm under the impression that my personal device isn't the WireGuard endpoint for the Mullvad connection, Tailscale is.

I believe if your device connects directly to Mullvad they will have your real IP (to know where to send reply packets)
