I would say the implementation of wireguard in networkmanager is flawed, 
myself I spent days on trying things to get working, I got only to a 
point where the connection was set up, but all the routing was messed up 
which lead to a non-usable setup. networkmanager do not use the wg, but 
tries to setup things itself.

I ended up with writing a small daemon that just keeps track of which 
configurations exists and which of them are up and uses the wg command 
to set up or tear down a wireguard connection. Then I wrote a small app 
for the desktop, so I can get the list of wireguard setups in 
/etc/wireguard and start/stop those.
