My company wants a solution for remote access, something like VNC. I’d like to support open source development, so any suggestions for something paid that can work without a centralized server?

VNC has long been abandoned by the engineering world. It’s inefficient, it has no transport security, and the implementations are very subjective.
The last time I used a commercial VPS, I’m pretty sure it used VNC to provide console access.
The VNC software I linked to above appears to support TLS. If TLS isn’t sufficient transport security, then most Internet-using software is going to be in trouble.
I’m not sure what you mean by subjective.
I haven’t looked at the VNC protocol for a while, but I don’t think that it imposes any terrible inefficiencies. A couple of decades back, I needed to implement something quick-and-dirty similar to VNC, and went with rendering window contents and handling dragging of windows locally, which I don’t believe that VNC can do (or didn’t then) but IIRC VNC has a tile cache, which, if intelligently used, should avoid most traffic. Dunno if it can deal well with efficiently rendering visual effects.
I don’t mean to be rude, but the last time you used a “commercial VPS” must have been a decade ago.
Get with the times.
There is not a single datacenter provider on this planet who uses VNC as anything. Every major player is working towards Zero-Trust AT BEST, so you wouldn’t even be able to leave a weird VNC port open to the internet even if you wanted to without an IDS going off.
I don’t want to spend time digging into your outdated dumbshit, so I’ll just slap it down: AWS, Google, Azure, Cloudflare…just name anyone. NOT WORKING WITH VNC.
Get current. Nobody does this old ass shit anymore. Sorry. It’s dead as fuck, guy.
