Maybe the best solution is to use a tool like https://github.com/wangyu-/udp2raw-tunnel.

I know, but the performance takes a massive hit. Have you tried it? Maybe it was something I did wrong.

Native wireguard is kernel-only. Udp2raw creates a detour via userspace, so more CPU time, delay, jitter ..

Was it worse than you would expect? Worse than say openvpn or wireguard-rs/wireguard-go?

It's not that bad. Overhead is less than a full TCP encapsulation. I use it all the time
