I am pretty sure the existing mautrix-whatsapp bridge also uses the WhatsApp Web API, so there would be no difference.

It does not support the app's authentication yet, so there would be a noticeable difference with that implemented.
Is Beeper's WhatsApp bridge not open source?
It is, but you still need the app running somewhere.
Baileys also supports the native mobile API, which allows users to authenticate as a standalone WhatsApp client using their phone number.
does this mean we wouldn't need an official client to connect to every 14 days?
