Traefik is what it uses to proxy things. You’re comparing a full suite of tools with just one piece.
I mean, that’s debatable. Taking a look at their docker-compose.yml there are 3 containers they recommend running, with a 4 optional container.
image: docker.io/fosrl/pangolin:latest # Pangolin itself
image: docker.io/fosrl/gerbil:latest # WireGuard server
image: docker.io/traefik:v3.6 # Traefik Reverse Proxy
hhftechnology/middleware-manager:latest # Optional middleware manager for Traefik
To say this is a “full-suite” is a bit much when majority of the heavy lifting is done by Traefik, the middleware’s you assign to Traefik and WireGuard. Pangolin if I’m reading this correctly;
“Pangolin combines reverse proxy and VPN capabilities into one platform.”
Which is great! However as I mentioned previously, does not integrate well when these services are already setup to work standalone.

Pangolin uses gerbil with newt for those wireguard tunnels. That’s a massive improvement already. It also adds a bunch more features like vpn, you can crowdsec, and more that I don’t use. To say it’s debatable if it’s a suite of tools is just wrong.
