Opinionated isn't the right phrase here. For something like webdev there are 200 "right" ways to do things. For encryption "throw out all the legacy crap and focus on 1 known strong tech" isn't opinionated...it's common sense.
...if you have the luxury of a fresh start. Which mainline kernel has granted wireguard.
Monoculture...maybe...but I reckon the tons of legacy stuff in openvpn is way more dangerous. Especially because it kind forces mass adoption of weaker cyphers due to compatability BS.
