My recommendation is to change the wording under the command on your install page to something like: "Users of the distro provided kernels (linux and linux-lts) may download the requisite corresponding precompiled wireguard module. Users of custom kernels will require the wireguard-dkms package and corresponding kernel headers to compile the module." For your info, example pacman output that most Arch users will be accustom to reading upon installation of the wireguard-tools package: % sudo pacman -S wireguard-tools resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...
