Sure.

But note that in this case unlike Tinc you cannot have some servers exit to
the outside world via some other servers (with AllowedIP 0.0.0.0/0). There has
to be just one such exit point per a WG network.

If it's purely for communication between servers, then of course no issue.

Another limitation compared to Tinc is that Tinc will autoheal the partially
disconnected mesh and will have some nodes forwarding for the others, in case
direct communication between some of them gets cut (e.g. due to a peering or
routing issue on the underlying Internet -- this saved me a few times).

WG will do no such thing, and node-to-node communication working will depend
on both nodes always having direct connectivity to each other.
