enjoyed this informative tailscale webpage(even if it is somewhat off-topic):

There exists somewhere a script to convert systemd unit files to initSysV scripts. But have you considered to create a fresh initscript from a template?
You could work with a fresh template file.

In debian tailscale works without this. But on devuan it didn't. So I searched for an initscript file. I found this out of github. How is it:
#!/bin/sh
# Generated by sysd2v v0.3 -- http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/sysd2v
# kFreeBSD do not accept scripts as interpreters, using #!/bin/sh and sourcing.
if [ true != "$INIT_D_SCRIPT_SOURCED" ] ; then
set "$0" "$@"; INIT_D_SCRIPT_SOURCED=true . /lib/init/init-d-script
fi
