If it's NAT, then your server has no dedicated public IP? What do you update
to DNS, IP of the ISP's NAT pool (shared IP with many other customers)?

It might work, helped by PersistentKeepalive, and as long as the server and the
client don't change their IPs/ports *at the same time*. To protect against
that, or to improve resiliency in general (and assuming there's actually no NAT
at the server side after all), your client should resolve the DNS record for
the server periodically, and in case the IP changed, call "wg set [interface]
peer [key] endpoint [IP:port]".
