I'm looking into building a new remote management with mesh VPNs but it may turn out not to be practical.

Why mess with mesh VPNs? Deploy endpoint clients and then push commands to them, which can then run locally on the target machines.

No networking nonsense needed for each machine, the endpoints just connect back to your centralized management server(s), awaiting your command.

This model is popular for a reason.

Agreed. I manage ~200 end-clients like this via MDM.

For servers, saltstack.

You probably are right. Its just a experiment, that's all.
