The suggested solution involves using the CGNAT /10 in conjunction with a VPN, but I've actually seen someone do this, and still have problems with certain end users where their next hop for routing also involves a router with an IPv4 address in the same space, so it's not really bulletproof either. We may as well consider doing other naughty things like co-opting DoD non-routable /8s or the test net in the RFCs you're not supposed to use, because basically anything you pick is going to have problems.

That does not happen here. The CGNAT addresses are in the VPN tunnel. And the tunnel connects private devices end-to-end. The LAN packets never see the Internet. They are inside the WireGuard packets.
