Too many distros to compare. If you want to tinker as a beginner and not have to reinstall for minor mistakes, go for something like OpenSUSE, it has Snapshotting with Rollback built in. You make a mistake, reboot to the previous snapshot and make it the default if everything is normal. NVidia also hosts a specific repo for OoenSUSE so I have never had graphics issues.

Not sure on MergerFS...I haven't gotten deep into ZFS pools.
What ZFS are you using?
"As of November 2023, this feature was merged in main and is scheduled for release in OpenZFS 2.3:"
'The OpenZFS project (ZFS on Linux, ZFS on FreeBSD) is working on a feature to allow the addition of new physical devices to existing RAID-Z vdevs. This will allow, for instance, the expansion of a 6-drive RAID-Z2 vdev into a 7-drive RAID-Z2 vdev. This will happen while the filesystem is online, and will be repeatable once the expansion is complete (e.g., 7-drive vdev → 8-drive vdev)."
Awesome! Interesting with MTU. This was a first hit google search, seems MTU in wireguard setup plays a role also. https://gist.github.com/nitred/f16850ca48c48c79bf422e90ee5b9d95
It may not even be the issue, I'm just spitballing, and it maybe DNS issues like others mentioned or cell provider blocking some aspect. As you probably know Wireguard can be set for all traffic to route through the tunnel, or some outside of it. Maybe cell network is not routing DNS through the tunnel, but using its own, or maybe they used a cached Domain name lookup that doesn't have your domain IP. Again, networking/DNS etc is my blind spot. I.e. I have setup openmedia vault on a 256MB RAM arm board to serve my music and SMB shares, but I don't understand reverse proxy LOL.
I don't have a lot of networking skill here, but could it be your WiFi connections (anywhere) are IPv4 and on mobile it forces IPv6, thus why you can connect via IP:port? Typically your wireguard host machine has IP forwarding/masquarading setup so you can reach your home LAN. Could this be an issue through the router / proxy?
There was an openSUSE suggestion, just a note that default install adds a lot of packages, at the preinstall summary you can click the software title and unchecke patterns you don't want, or go into further detail and check/uncheck single packages. You can make OpenSUSE as minimal as you like.
I assume being the extreme level coder dev types that program logic all day start seeing life has black and white, and generally humans are not like that.
Yeah, I was going to leave it for the joke, but changed it.
I can't answer the main question, but anecdotally I find different distros work differently on different hardware. Like one laptop I have will not install, or if it does install it won't boot, any Debian based distro, but RPM based is fine. There is some bios bug or quirk that fails with deb, but rpm distros acknowledge and move on. So sometimes distro hopping can help.
There is RedHat and SUSE. Which are also the only two certified distros for running corporate/enterprise CAD/CAM/FEA and PLM software. They both provide rock solid stability.
You can have more than one drive on a pi, either USB, or they sell sata boards
