I suspect the vast majority of OpenBSD users never hit a "scaling wall". What do you mean by product?
In a previous life I installed two OpenBSD routers with a 10GbE card each. With carp(4) they could push nearly 20Gbps total. This was back in 2015 or so.
"Scaling" would just be matter of adding more nodes, or replace with 40GbE cards (which would require a more powerful CPU).
Perhaps running a high traffic relayd on them would have reduced the throughput. But that smells like poor architecture: let routers be routers and load balancers be load balancers :)
