Umbrel hybrid setting is just exposing your home IP + Tor.
It's better than Tor only for the aforementioned reasons, but be aware it's allowing aproximate geolocation, and you better be on top or beef up your home network security.

Would running tailscale make a difference?

tailscale is only to connect remotely to your node (aka with zeus to manage it). tailscale is not used by the node to connect to the LN, is a private IP that is not accesiIble from internet. I've explained more here https://darth-coin.github.io/nodes/tailscale-vpn-your-node-en.html

Wrong question. Is not about being Tor, clearnet or hybrid, but about what kind of services you will run with it. Public or private nodes?
To answer your specific question. In the past I've run all kind of bundle nodes. Are ok for total noobs to learn. But not more than that. Once you learn, you must go up in level.
Also bundle nodes are not a good choice for a BTC LN node. if you run only BTC and a LN node + few too,ls for managing, maybe is OK, but when users start installing all kind of crap additional apps, the situation became complicated and they have n o idea in what they entered.
COMPARTMENTALIZE is the key word. Example: never run a BTC core and/or LN node with other non-bitcoin apps.
