The project that has a feature which allows admins to SSH to any computer in the VPN ? [1]

They have a feature called remote SSH access where the agent running on the node allows other VPN users to SSH to another machine on the network without having SSH enabled / public keys set up. I've tested the project at the beginning of the year and it was a big NO for me. They seemed to fix this issue but it appeared again.

Tailscale has a similarish SSH feature. You might be aware of that.

Tailscale's version from the docs looks to be opt-in while that github issue seems to indicate Netbird was opt-out ...

I wanted to check it out but they apparently can't even manage to do IPv6 correctly for their own service; advertising an AAAA record but not answering on it even for ICMPv6 let alone TCP 443/80 - apparently on AWS.

yet to try it but both seem to be comparable if you are self-hosting your own network. otherwise, besides two extra users [1][2] netbird seems to provide in the free tier is the sole key differentiator.

Yeah, we use netbird in prod... it's awesome, rock solid.
