1) Besides marketing, I see no reason that Tailscale needs to concern itself with the WireGuard protocol spec at all. Tailscale is already incompatible.

2) Tailscale's control plane model for peer distribution avoids every concern affecting IPsec in regard to protocol negotiation security and compatibility.

TL;DR, diverging from WireGuard & supporting AES (via protocol negotiation with hardware acceleration), would be relatively painless.
