Has anyone got a guide for getting openwrt to tether to a 5G mobile hotspot for the upstream WAN? I've found one showing how to connect via USB, but I don't want to have to plug my phone in to my router to be able to use my phone's mobile data.

You can have OpenWRT act as a Wi-Fi client (you might need to install the wpa-supplicant package). At that point your wifi interface is connected and you can adjust the firewall/routing/IP configuration to mark it as "WAN".
