> I do love OpenWrt but the upgrade experience is still a pain because user-installed packages need to be reinstalled manually. Just use image-builder. Or better, create a script which uses image-builder for you. For me, upgrading to newer releases for my 7 OpenWRT devices, is mostly just updating a version number and waiting for the build to complete (a few minutes at tops). It's not really hard. I may have gone in a bit over-the-top, with makefile and dependencies at all[1], but at the core of things, it's not really hard.
