From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Personally, I would do this in docker. That way you can have clearer separation between services and networks. But it's not a hard requirement.
I would just do it, as you wrote. For example, on the account of jellyfin server, configure the tailscaleA client, then wireguard client, etc. Set those up as separate user services/processes/system services if root permissions needed and that's it. Then on other services set the needed connections separately.
It might be handy to set up traefik, so things served via vpns can go through the same routes as local traffic, so you use the same path as your users do
When you have a service that serves something on a port, you are not limited to only one connection. It can be accessed through different clients, the only needed part is that those clients connect to their respective vpn networks and pass the traffic correctly
I don't see a need for a separate device for that routing
