They verified the protocol, not the actual implementation: https://github.com/rosenpass/rosenpass#security-analysis
This is still a pretty neat result! End-to-end proofs from high level protocol to low level implementation are mostly still a research topic.

I like Wireguard, because less things can go wrong with it compared to OpenVPN. I guess the only thing I would want is something like https://github.com/kudelskisecurity/pq-wireguard in production, but then again I am not a nation state.
