This is akin to asking if a bike is more reliable than a car. They are very different use cases with different implications, so it depends on what you're doing with them and how. Wireguard is just a very simple network bridge. Whoever has the key can send anything over the network. There isn't a robust mechanism required to keep the key, to revoke it, to audit its use, to enable it to only provide access to specific applications. It doesn't have 1/20th the features SSH has, and SSH itself lacks a bunch of security features. Bottom line is that you should only use Wireguard if you need a simple encrypted network bridge. It does not remove the need for other more complex security products.

Cars and bikes are both fine for point to point travel. They'll each give you a vastly different experience though. It"s prolly better to stick with what you know how to use, in my opinion. You're likely gonna have a bad day if you crash and die.

> This is akin to asking if a bike is more reliable than a car. It's really not. It's a technical question with many technical answers, thankfully they were provided by other commenters before you posted this. If anything, it's similar to asking if a bike is faster than a car, to which you would reply than a bike might be faster in traffic because of small size but slower over long distances because of propulsion. It is possible to compare apples and oranges over specific axes.
