Sure, and OVS (especially with OVN) is pretty capable. (And we haven't even touched OVS DPDK.)
But if you need the big guns there are a ton of OpenStack Neutron plugins, OpenDaylight being one of them (networking-odl) and there are the classical/traditional vendor ones (Cisco, Arista, and so on).
I think the future is very much means this jungle of APIs integrating in whatever tangled ways, and eventually the reliable, robust and sane ones will prevail.
