I wasn't sure on this, hiding it in advanced was my first thought. I do think it's right thing to do, but was thinking about what people are currently used to doing.

can also put this advanced flag on master only for 26.1 inclusion? so there is a bit more visibility for 2 more months

That sounds like a good idea.

Allowing the pre-authentication key as an optional field, will allow tailscale registration using either a pre-auth of key or the AuthURL obtained from the status page if enabled without the auth key.
Quality of life improvement to remove the need to create pre-auth keys manually first, users will still need to set the machine key to not expire after regristration in the tailscale dashboard
