They've also included fq_codel and sch_cake:

For a site to site, kernel mode vpn such as ipsec or wireguard (but
not openvpn), we successfully FQ+AQM packets entering the tunnel.

If that's the bottleneck link, for a mixture of, say low rate voip and
high rate file transfer traffic, the results are a pretty marvellous
reduction of jitter and latency through the tunnel.
