Looks like it? 4 years old commits

Why is that a bad thing? Maybe it just works and doesn't need further changes.

Cause it presumably has to be compatible with Wireguard upstream?

Wireguard is a pretty fixed and simple standard. Nothing needs to happen.

If anyone needs one of these, there is an UNofficial implementation by Cloudflare, which is used in Warp.

So the "tcp: fix incorrect undo caused by DSACK of TLP retransmit" done five weeks ago for the Linux kernel didn't need to happen for the Rust implementation?

Looking at the supported platforms, it looks like the only one is Linux. The README has this to say about it though: "This will run on Linux; however YOU SHOULD NOT RUN THIS ON LINUX. Instead use the kernel module; see the installation page for instructions."
