ngrok free is great for smaller scale, as you describe.
openziti simplifies scale:
+ mTLS
+ zero trust w/ inbound firewall rule of deny-all (rather than ACLs)
+ private DNS w/ wildcard domains
note: mTLS, wildcard domains etc are in ngrok $900/user annual plan but these are free for foss like the OpenZiti solution used by OP (and maybe free for other solutions too?)

Disclosure: I have never paid for ngrok but have used it sporadically for many years for some quick tunneling use-cases. It feels... magical, and a joy to use. OP, if it fits your use-case, would recommend giving them a try!
ngrok http 80 --verify-webhook=slack --verify-webhook-secret=[secret]
with a ton of providers out of the box: https://ngrok.com/docs/cloud-edge#webhook-verification
Also, we recently launched https://webhooks.fyi/ to serve as a community resource to capture patterns & practices around webhook implementations. That's a github pages site so pull requests welcome!
Disclosure: I work at ngrok and helped create webhooks.fyi :)
