> You’re not wrong, but I have been running complicated multi-site VPNs with a small homelab multi-subnet / VLAN setup for 25 years and still have yet to have a collision.

And I've been in corporate IT networks with mergers/acquisitions where both organizations involved had 10.0.0.0/24. Ever have NAT inside a company? Fun stuff. (Thrown in some internal-only split-horizon DNS too.)

Then there's the fact that in the COVID period we had IPs for VPN clients (172.*) in the same range as what some developers used for their Docker stuff. Hilarity.
