Short of setting up dns validation and using 3rd party dns service as many registrars don't support API for dns management, how is domain validation done for acquiring TLS certs when serving only via wireguard ?

There's the private CA route but its a pain to setup the certs on all (mobile) devices and Android makes it very scary and hard.

I use https://github.com/go-acme/lego and DNS validation. I'm not sure what DNS provider you're using, but a ton of them have robust APIs. In my case, I'm using Route53 which is notable in that I can generate API credentials that can only update the specific record needed for a particular name's ACME validation record.

Here's a list of supported providers: https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/

And in case you're curious, the API perms dance to do specific-record updates: https://github.com/armorfret/terraform-aws-r53-certbot/blob/...
