Due to inconsistent use of ubuntu-specific identifiers and complexity introduced HWE and such, wireguard-linux-compat develops against the latest kernels for each of the Ubuntu releases -- listed on https://www.wireguard.com/build-status/ , ctrl+F for ubuntu. This already amounts to ~7 kernels. So the thing to do here would be to add !defined(ISUBUNTU1804) to the relevant ifdef:

#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(4, 19, 10) && LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 15, 0) && !defined(ISRHEL8) && !defined(ISUBUNTU1804)) || LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(4, 14, 217)

Afterwards, if you want to apply additional patches downstream so that this works on older kernels within each Ubuntu release, that would make sense. But upstream should first always be made to work against the latest kernel version in each Ubuntu release. If you have advanced knowledge that something is about to break (because of this or that backport), then please push a patch upstream for that.

apw@ knows how this works, if you want to talk to somebody internal about it. Otherwise I'm zx2c4 on Freenode and happy to help.
