It depends on the OpenVZ kernel, some later version can use WG. But OpenVZ is dying anyway so if someone use a still supported container technology, WG is probably available.

Depending on the ISP setup, sometimes WG can be less reliable due to MTU and/or UDP filtering, I remember an ISP from years ago where WG don't work only on certain hours, while OpenVPN running on the same server still work.

Wireguard can run in userspace mode if the kernel module is not available.

Changing the MTU for Wireguard to 1280 usually helps a lot with reliability and throughput.
