But it also strikes me as OOC for Cordy (but then season 3!Cordy feels all around very OOC to me) to be so wrapped up in her new relationship with Angel not to stop to talk with his old friend Wes so I tend to side with Wes on this one.
That's fair, Angel's reaction was understandable as that was his son, but it probably was a bit OOC for Fred, Gunn, and (especially) Cordelia to all immediately side with Angel and not even hear Wesley out. But then I felt like Fred was mostly only lashing out from hurt when she visits Wesley in the immediate aftermath of the kidnapping, she had earlier talked about her fears of what Connor was going through and related that to her own experiences in Pylea, so it was also a pretty personal thing for her. IMO she would have been won round by her friend Wesley again if he had taken steps towards seeking forgiveness once everyone had cooled down a bit.
Instead Wesley seemed to take those immediate responses and make them all about how terribly his friends are wronging him, and got really moody and wrapped up him himself. I'm not saying that he should have necessarily been throwing himself at their feet and talking about how sorry he was either, but the way that he did handle things was just a bit too "woe is me" for me personally, especially considering Angel's less than a year old baby was the one that had actually been sucked into Hell
