I don't believe this is something wireguard cares about. It looks like they're aiming for doing in-kernel build-your-own routing VPN solution for servers where the networking is completely within your control. If you need a solution for privacy / working around provider limitations, then other software may be better.

There is a brief section dedicated to this: https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/#nat-and-firewall-trave...

tl;dr keepalives and the expectation of a statefull firewall keeping things open.

Combined with touting IP roaming as a feature, I think it is something wireguard cares about.
