Is it possible using Apple Remote Desktop to connect to computers over the internet (so different networks) ** without ** having to tweak the router settings of those devices?
PS currently using both Mojave and Catalina

Unfortunately, not any more. It used to be possible using Back to my Mac, which was abandoned at Mojave.
See Does Apple Remote Desktop connect to computers over the internet? for how it used to work.

Not a total solution but I use Teamviewer now where I used to use ARD. It works without router tweaking and is easy to set up at the remote end.
Use a VPN to connect to your remote network. it's better for everyone involved
