I wonder, if you only need to pay once, couldn't this be played via private servers/Tunngle/somehow, for free?

A. you only need to pay once.
B. There is already a hacked up version of a private Diablo III beta server, it is several versions behind the current beta patch. So a private server of the normal version will likely be a month or so after the release.

Yes there is a private server but it works horribly: you can only run around and use skills. Attributes are fixed at 0. Mob AI is gone. Mobs are gone. Item drops are very weird and so on. In fact: Its not really a game that way more like a Benchmark ...
The cause of this as I read it somewhere is that Some parts of the game are ONLY on the server not on the Client: Mob AI and Item Drops etc...
As you have to constantly remain online while playing as there is no offline singleplayer + you also play on a server even if you play solo means that it will be quite hard if not even almost impossible to hack it + make a private server.
Because you would need one of Blizzards guys to leak Server Files. Without them you have no Mobs or anything.
and I think this is quite different from games with Realtime Online-Authentication (because here all info is on client and you can play singleplayer) but different from MMOs as well, because I guess on normal MMOs the dropped items calculation as well as Mob AI is on the client as well.
This is just a theory I read somewhere and I find it quite logical. I am by no way an expert at this so if I should be wrong feel free to correct me.
So my prediction: Server files either get leaked or it will take quite some time till private servers arrive.
But nonetheless here is a hint: Just buy the game. Honestly its totally worth it. Even if there are private servers its too much of a hassle and who knows the server maybe shuts down one day... whereas if you buy it you can be sure that you will at least be able to play i online for the next 10-20 years. And since you only pay once for the game its totally worth it!
Oh and a small sidenote btw: You can sell in-game items to other players via a Real Money Auction House. No one can predict how the market will be but most likely over the course of a year you will probably be able to AT LEAST get the retail price in profit. So you had 100% fun and paid 0 bucks for it (and even get some profit) in comparison to private servers where you had 70% fun, 50% frustration and 0 bucks.

I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting. -

On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
