I could not agree more.  What a world we live in where code that hasn't been touched for a few months is considered stale, rather than being rewarded and appreciated for reliability and stability.  Jason, congratulations on not needing to touch that code for six months!  Much of the beauty of Wireguard is its simplicity, to the point that it can be done "right", and it really shouldn't need to be touched!
