Perhaps I should rephrase:
You should not just WireGuard over TCP "just because", if you do not suffer from UDP blocks, you do not gain anything by enabling it.

We need to ensure that we do not experience any more problems with it. By Monday we expect to have it running on at least a 3rd of our servers, possibly more.

WireGuard over TCP has been re-enabled on some servers in Gothenburg, Malmö, Oslo, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, and Vienna.
Please note that WireGuard over TCP is not a feature for anything other than bypassing UDP blocks. It comes with higher resource and battery usage, as well as a significant performance reduction.

Unfortunately as it stands now, it does not work because Tailscale use an IPv6 range that we block.
So Mullvad will block Tailscale from operating.
A shame, but perhaps something will change in the future.
