I'd use OpenBSD if it provided: 1. significantly faster vioscsi(4) driver for VirtIO SCSI adapters -- I can live with vioscsi being up to 2x slower than Ubuntu

I'd use OpenBSD if it provided:
1. significantly faster vioscsi(4) driver for VirtIO SCSI adapters -- I can live with vioscsi being up to 2x slower than Ubuntu or FreeBSD, but 5x - 10x slower is probably a deal breaker for some other folks that would like to use OpenBSD on Digital Ocean, Linode, etc.
2. binpatches directly from OpenBSD, similar to the way a third-party is providing them at https://stable.mtier.org/ https://stable.mtier.org/
Other than that, really love OpenBSD and even their man pages are awesome.

Apart from that, now that the initial Xen port is breathing (I ran it on EC2 just before 5.9 was cut and almost had a happy heart attack) I suspect the other goodies will follow quickly.
