Yes that is my default configuration but I don't think it is coincidence that
it's the one with the hostname that goes down.
Just need to find out why.

Did you have this option checked in the WireGuard Config over PPPoE ?

As long as the DNS A record did not change, the PPPoE connection could go
down and return and all would be fine. Without the need for the "DNS Update"
option to be checked.
But, if the PPPoE connection was down, AND you restarted WireGuard, then
the WG Endpoint would be unknown, and later if PPPoE returned, without the
above option checked, the DNS endpoint would never be found.
Understand, the cause of the above scenario is restarting WireGuard.
If the only problem was the PPPoE connection was down, and it eventually
returned, the WireGuard tunnel should come back as well without the need for
the "DNS Update" option to be checked.
But, if the WG DNS endpoint was some sort of dynamic DNS or could easily
change, then the "DNS Update" option should be checked.
Bottom line, if this ever happens again, first determine if the PPPoE
connection under WireGuard is active and working before taking any actions.
