What are you referring to?
Why do you consider a HDD insecure?
For starters, storing stuff on a hard disc is certainly not "quite insecure".
Are you aware that you can encrypt discs / partions / files?
Wireguard also allows you to set the private key on the fly, so you can feed it
for example secrets stored in pass (gpg encrypted), which you *can* decrypt with
a yubikey already.
Are you speaking specifically about wg-quick?
In that case the manpage already shows you how to feed wg encrypted secrets

Of course pass is only an exapmple, use any way of decrypting the secret as you
see fit.
