Yes, I can see that happening.

Possibly we need to edit that WiKi section.
https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:tt_wan_failover#pppoe_on_failover_interface

For PPPoE on a failover (EXT2IF) interface, can you configure your PPPoE modem 
in "router" mode where the credentials are set in the modem ?  Then the 
AstLinux configuration would be just like a 4G/LTE modem in "router" mode.  In 
such a case you would set the "WAN Failover Configuration -> External Failover 
Interface:" as "Static IP" to match the subnet defined by the PPPoE modem in 
"router" mode.

If the failover connection is over WireGuard the extra NAT of the PPPoE modem 
in "router" mode should not be an issue.
