Performance is already capped with network_mode: host. I'm not a network expert but veth seems a bit much for this? My setup is less convoluted.

I can WireGuard to my server and access my home network, meanwhile the torrent client data is all routed through a third party VPN.

If the third party VPN disconnects there is no data leak from the torrent client (basically a kill switch).

True, but I assumed you might actually want to have the container network isolated. For most people I think they consider --privileged and host networking a last resort for misbehaving software.
