I have only seen a message like that when I had typo in the IP address in the VNC client.
FWIW with Trixie just after installation my /etc/wayvnc/config in its default state is the same as yours except that address=:: is the second line - so something must have changed between our installations. With active ssh and VNC sessions netstat on the Pi givesWithout the VNC session there is just the ssh line. I didn't 'open' the VNC port on the Pi - no firewall installed so it's open. wayvnc is not shown as listening by netstat. But it accepts a connection.
Client is RealVNC on another Pi. I haven't done any configuration of VNC on either Pi. It just worked having been enabled. I don''t think I have done any post installation changes to the server Pi - I was just seeing what Trixie looked like then shut it down until needed.
