I think that another significant difference between Wireguard (and almost any other VPN solution) from SOCKS5 proxy is that with VPN, website might detect MTU of your connection, which will indicate VPN usage, while with SOCKS5 it will be the default value of 1500 (unless SOCKS5 server uses any sort of tunnel themselves). This makes it harder for a website to detect proxy.
Given this, might be a good idea to use Wireguard+SOCKS5, where SOCKS5 is only accessible over Wireguard, making it basically an encrypted proxy, combining benefits of VPN and proxy.
