Not yet unfortunately. I'll add it in the future, but I'm preoccupied with homework right now.

i have yet to encounter a case where a udp-tunnel has a practical advantage over tcp; on the other hand, corporate/hotel/coffeeshop firewalls that block anything not tcp/443 are super commom.

What about it? WireGuard uses UDP. You don't need privileges to open up a UDP socket.

Does this SOCKS5 tunnel support UDP?

Oh! I don't think so; at least, I don't think go-socks5 does.

SOCKS5 supports UDP, but yeah it does not look like go-socks5 does.

Does Rust support it?

The Rust user-mode WireGuard proxy mentioned upthread does UDP. Netstack does UDP as well; it's just that this particular tool doesn't, yet.
