[Tailscale founder here] If you're using a mac, you can just install Tailscale from the app store, which does not require root (thanks to the "magic" of Apple's extension signing).

Another experiment we're doing is integrating a completely userspace network stack, which could someday be good for this: https://twitter.com/bradfitz/status/1301937179636068352

I don't use mac.

I haven't dug into the WireGuard spec yet, so this might be an ignorant question: Do you think it would be possible to create a client that can talk with WG servers normally, but on the local side it forwards to a specific port, rather than a network interface? That would avoid the root requirement. I'm guessing the answer is no since it sounds like you guys are working on integrating a custom non-WG solution.
