Compared to BoringSSL I don't think so. Lots of huge players are using it on their devices and it's the Android SSL implementation.

OpenSSL is the de facto standard TLS implementation for most of the Internet. It gets more research attention than BoringSSL.

Wasn't "research attention" the problem before though? Lots of hacked in support for fancy new features, not enough serious maintenance.
