There's a wid range of opinions on this. Some people only access their services via tunnel, some people open most of their services up to the internet, as long as they're authenticated. One useful option for https services is to put them behind a reverse proxy that require oauth authentication, which allows you to have services over the internet, without increasing your attack surface. But that breaks apps like Nextcloud and Lemmy, so it's not a universal option.
