The biggest things that OpenBSD doesn't support (well) are Bluetooth, some wifi cards and TPM modules. And you can literally fix all of these issues with a supported USB device. Been running OpenBSD on multiple generations of Thinkpad laptops without issue. Using the Protectli 6 port device as an OpenBSD router (Intel NICs are well-supported).

Add to that bluetooth is generally a mess. The only thing where it is vaguely useful is for audio and I believe you can still use a bluetooth audio transceiver such as the Creative BT-W3 that present itself as a usb audio interface to the OS if you really want to connect those audio headphones of yours.

That's exactly the device I was referring to and what I do. :)
