I got a Wangtek 5150 (with separate interface card) about two weeks
ago.  It works with the wt driver, I believe--I had only little time
to dump a filesystem and check that I can read stuff back.

Yes I can also read tapes which were written on SUNOS a while ago with
some other type of QIC150 drive.

I do have *some* documentation.  The booklet says "User's Guide 5125PK
/ 5150PK Series Tape Backup System", and "User's Guide No. 63058-001
Rev. B".  The Guide explains the jumper settings, but does not go into
further detail.
