Sure, defense in depth is great, but there needs to be an argument about the tradeoff. Otherwise as I said, everyone should run OpenSSH over Wireguard over IPSec over OpenVPN, because then you need to exploit all of them to do an exploit and that is harder to do than exploiting any smaller subset.
Why is the tradeoff of adding Wireguard worth it? Sure it’s extra security, but is it really worthy managing multiple keys, not-as-ubiquitous protocol, less flexible administration and no CA? I don’t think there is a correct answer (it depends on the threat model), but your original comment made it seem like there was no tradeoff and there was an obvious correct answer.
