You can just use Tailscale or similar service and not fight with setup of Wireguard. It's as simple as installing the app on devices and starting it

Wireguard is simple enough to setup, and i actually use it much like OP does, though i don't force all my DNS queries through it, and instead use NextDNS.
It's basically setup so that i have my internal machines registered in NextDNS as rewrites, and Wireguard is setup to route anything for my internal RFC-1918 network, ie. 192.168.1.0/24, so when NextDNS returns 192.168.1.5 for "host.mydomain.com", it will go over wireguard.
The advantage is that i can keep the tunnel up 24/7, and it has very little impact on battery life as normal requests simply go over the internet.
