Irrelevant: the goal is not preventing shootings (I mean, they would go for the obvious solution otherwise)

Why did they call them 'gold' and 'silver pro'?
I have no idea what a DreamMachine is (and wikipedia does not help) so here's the long answer :)
If you want a VPN tunnel to your own home, for secure access to your LAN, I'd recommend you look into NetBird and/or TailScale, which at their core are wireguard plus NAT punch-through (you can also run wireguard or openvpn directly, but it may be a pain since you most probably have a dynamic IP and possibly a CGNAT).
If you want to hide your traffic while connecting through networks you don't trust (such as the work one or some cafe's wifi), you can either use NetBird/Tailscale as above and connect though your home (well, assuming you trust your ISP of course) or some third party VPN which connects to their servers (I'd say look into Proton first).
Keep in mind that VPNs actually do very little for your online privacy (ie. it's not like google or facebook can't track or fingerprint you). They do is prevent man-in-the-middle traffic analysis from your ISP (or the admin of whatever LAN you are using), but then the VPN provider can do the exact same things, so... make sure to double-check the privacy guarantees of your VPN provider and compare them with those of your ISP.
What do you (think you) need a VPN for?
Lineage OS is not designed to relock the bootloader.
I don't understand why so many people worry about that... doesn't it only ensure that data is wiped if some agent secretly installs a rootkit or sorts on your phone before giving back the device to you?
To me, bootloader locking is mostly a way for phone manufacturers to make it harder to run anything but the ROM they have chosen (and it's a PITA and the most laborious part of installing a ROM).
I hate them (seriously).
It's basically a second distro inside your distro (try du -chs /var/lib/flatpak/) and if something breaks (eg. last year mesa with my graphics card) it isn't easy to identify were the problem is (because all libs update at the same time), plus you can't just try a newer (or older) version of some lib as you would in your distro.
Moreover, you can't flatpak CLI tools (also servers and OS components, but I guess the ubuntu folks are the only ones who care about those).
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ and make sure to double-check that unlocking the bootloader isn't too much bother (ie. read the installation instructions)
I fear I am not enough reverse (or Polish, for that matter) :)
Anyway, I have great esteem for you (if you actually use forth and are not just trolling)
Also you mentioned provisioning scripts, is that Ansible? If so python is already there, if you mean really just bash scripts I can tell you that does not scale well. Also if you already have some scriptsz what language are they on? Why not write the function there??
Currently it's mostly nixos, plus a custom thing that generates preconfigured openwrt images that I then deploy manually. I have a mess of other vms and stuff, but I plan to phase out everything and migrate to nixos (except the openwrt stuff, since nixos doesn't run on mips).
I don't really need to run this specific synchthing-ID script except on my PC (I do the provisioning from there), but I have written scripts that run on my router (using busybox sh) and I was wondering if there is a "goto" scripting that I can use everywhere.
That's not something a terminal emulator should do - it's a feature that belongs in your shell :)
