We have added support for allegedly-OpenSSL compatible libraries such as
LibreSSL before, so some tweaks for wolfSSL would seem acceptable.
However, I doubt we are going to backpatch them, so unless you want to
take responsibility for that as a packager, it's not really going to
help anyone soon. And OpenSSL 3.0.0 will have a new license, so for the
next PostgreSQL release, this problem might be gone.
