Can I, then, take that as an implicit acknowledgement that this
observed behavior on OpenWRT is to be expected with the current state
of events, and that I should patch my driver accordingly?

As one example of this in tree, take a look at vxlan -- it's using it
for the mtu/pmtu exactly as WireGuard does.

Jason
