I run a Minecraft server. Couldn't have done it without port forwarding.
Could do it on a private network with Tailscale. Minecraft server on a port forwarded VPN sounds terrible because your address and port change every time you connect
Talescale is a VPN, "private network" is what P and N stand for. It's just one with only forwarded ports and no outbound traffic. The question was are forwarded ports important, and yes they are. So important that some users pay for a VPN twice! Once for something like Mullvad with no port forwarding, and once for Talescale for port forwarding. It's true it has benefits like static IP, but even on my commercial VPN I get the same forwarded IP and port when connecting to the same server, so I don't want to pay twice.
