Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services (infosec.pub)

Hi, I live in Germany and only have public IPv6. My address changes only very, very rarely and has never changed in the time I've been self-hosting.

I also have a very small, pretty cheap VPS with static IPv4/IPv6 – which would seem like a great fit for some sort of tunneling/proxy setup. Now comes the question: What/how should I use it? I would like to not have the additional latency for IPv6 enabled hosts, can I just setup a reverse proxy for IPv4? Would Tailscale work for my usecase, what are some resources you found useful when using it?

Currently, I'm just hosting everything IPv6-only and hoping my address never changes, but that does not work for everyone, as especially many new buildings with fiber optic connections still only have IPv4 (strangely).

It doesn't, but running everything through a tunnel to get IPv4 access would. OP wants only the IPv4 traffic to go over a tunnel.
