I've tried Tinc, Wireguard and OpenVPN. Currently I'm on OVPN via a pfSense box (doesn't support WG yet).
Tinc is neat if you need a mesh network but it was an utter pain to properly setup (half the time I wouldn't get any connection, the other I would not get data over it).
OVPN and WG have been fairly pleasant in that regard, though OVPN still suffers from some non-obvious failure cases when you stray away from a simple VPN connection.
In my case, I only dial into a OVH instance to A) setup/config containers on it and B) use OVH as VPN.
Tinc's mesh network is overkill, the clients are all behind X number of NATs or firewalls and without the central server there is no use for the VPN.
I might think about Tinc again if I feel the urge to setup multiple boxes.
