No idea about ZeroTier, but you should be able to use WireGuard without root access using the userspace implementation in Go[0] (that's the one used in non-rooted Android phones, Windows, and maybe the BSDs)

I tried wireguard-go and it required root to create a tunnel. I wonder if it would be possible to adapt it to forward to a local port rather than mapping directly to a network interface.
