Sounds like the best layout given that the router is also your modem.

I would have suggested making the WG Firewall the DHCP server (using one range) and then setting a different range between the WG's external port and your new router.

It may also be worth then putting the WG in the DMZ of the router (if the option is available) or turning NAT off on the router as I'm not sure what hassle you might get if both router and WG are NAT'ing.

Someone please leap in if I'm wrong on that!
