Sure it would.  OpenSSL put a lot of efforts to have a complete
implementation, as far as i know, and OpenBSD also reported
a success-over-QUIC, but i looked even less.  But that comes.

Only when the bandwidth is out.  Or when sharing in between many
breaks down the thing.  Or when that whoever it is bombs the
neighbourhood with electromagnetic storms so that anything
wireless inclusive DVB-T.  The former two happen quite frequently.
'Don't think WireGuard is a resource hog or bandwidth killer from
what i know.  But i never have done performance testing.
