The stateless nature of Wireguard makes it kind of hard to implement. Having something DHCP-esque makes sense when you have an external mechanism for authentication, like most traditional VPN software does, but with Wireguard you have to exchange public keys with peers that communicate with each other, so you might as well just set up the IP at the same time.
