Except possibly set up some kind of slow ping or other keep-alive
mechanism.

Since wireguard is stateless, if the dynamic IP is behind some kind
of NAT, the ISP might break inbound connectivity if there is no
outbound traffic for a certain period, (typically 2 minutes or so).

This only matters if you expect to receive inbound connections
without making an outbound connection first, (for example, inbound
SMTP), because any outbound traffic should bring up the link anyway.

IPSEC is another possible alternative.
