So the dyndns address check out to the current WANIP of the remote device and you can ping the device but WG does not come up??
Did you make any changes to the config prior to losing connectivity as there is no clear reason I can think of that would cause loss of connectivity.

The reasons is that the order of the RSC file, is NOT the order required to add rules to make the config coherent.
In other words, you dont understand the config to the level necessary otherwise you wouldnt have tried, but instead would have
