I'm not sure I understand your logic. The suggestion here is to use
the backported patches _instead of_ the module. Then, they'd be
maintained alongside the kernel, and the wireguard package itself
would be the same thing for both 5.4 and 5.10. There'd be one thing to
maintain rather than two. This sounds like less work.
