Hello,
I was asking about server ip in the live wg config
on the client, as seen in
# wg show
in order to verify the problem is indeed a stale ip.

This is only partly correct. The remote endpoint can unconditionally
roam and is updated by any valid packet from a given IP (if I remember
correctly).

In some circumstances a similar behavior would be a desired.
Wireguard design and implementation is layered (which seems good).
The secure* tunnel, including the kernel module and wg tool seem
to be in a reasonable state, but automation, DNS, key exchange are
out of scope for them. It is meant to be provided by tooling, which is
currently very raw.
As a workaround you could
- unconditionally periodically update the endpoint
- monitor last handshake time, when large update endpoint or restart
tunnel
- add keepalive to server - it might reduce your downtime
