I've updated firmware on my flint 3 from 4.10.0 to 4.10.1.

Those dnsmasq messages do not show the actual WireGuard connection failure; they can occur because the VPN interface has not come up and therefore has not supplied a DNS server.
As a targeted test, stop the existing client and import one of the original WireGuard profiles again as a new profile, without deleting the old one. If the newly imported profile connects, the retained profile likely did not migrate correctly during the upgrade. If it also remains orange, please post the redacted VPN client connection log from one connection attempt, especially lines mentioning endpoint resolution, handshake, or wgclient1. Do not include private keys, public IP addresses, or the complete configuration file.

I added a new connection. Here are the logs

The newly imported profile also timing out makes a retained-profile migration issue unlikely. The log only shows the 30-second startup timeout, not whether WireGuard completed a handshake.
While wgclient2 is orange—and within 30 seconds of starting it—connect by SSH and run:
wg show wgclient2 latest-handshakes
wg show wgclient2 transfer
Please report only whether the handshake value is 0 or a non-zero timestamp, whether transfer counters increase, or whether the command says the interface does not exist. Do not post keys or endpoint addresses. A non-zero handshake would point toward the firmware’s connection/health check after tunnel establishment; zero or a missing interface would narrow it to tunnel setup or handshake failure.

With my vpn client disconnected, I connected and immediately produced a system log

This log confirms that wgclient2 starts and its DNS servers are loaded, but it still does not show whether a WireGuard handshake occurs.
While the client is orange, please run this through SSH:
wg show wgclient2 latest-handshakes
Report only whether the value is 0, a non-zero timestamp, or the interface does not exist. That result will distinguish a handshake failure from the firmware failing its post-connection health check. Do not post keys or endpoint addresses.
