It all depends on the load being managed by the router, service uptime, etc...
As an example, HEX RB750Gr3 can handle IPsec (hardware encryption) of around 470 Mbps bandwidth. Now, I'm pretty sure that those values are a bit low when compared with Wireguard...
My suggestion would first determine how much traffic you need to manage and how much bandwidth you have available. Also, a VPN based on interfaces is a much better option when you need to filter traffic so perhaps you want to get away from IPsec.
You can go to the Mikrotik page and based on test results choose the appropriate router. Also, bear in mind that cloud DDNS services sometimes can be down. The last time Mikrotik cloud service was down for two days.
Another thing, the cheapest Mikrotik models are indeed prone to power supply issues and you probably want an extra power supply around just in case. From here you can go to a redundant power supply router if that's a requirement.
