It is going to make fingerprinting more annoying while evading default port scans. That isnt nothing
Comment on How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN?

Security through obscurity is not sufficient. It’s also not nothing.

Wireguard doesn’t respond to port scans so it changes nothing

Assume a security researcher finds a bug in wireguard that, if sent a malformed packet, it can crash the service. Then it would be trivately easy to send that packet to the default port on every IP address and just crash everything for fun.
It costs me nothing to increment the port by 1 and avoid all that drama.
