It seems like there are [still some issues with this chipset https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/391] but they will likely be sorted out. The good news is that this is a fairly new router (early 2019 it looks like) so maybe it will stay in production for a while.

I ordered one of the gigabit units but it will probably take 4-5 weeks to ship. Be aware the the 100 Mbit version uses a slightly different chipset but is also supported by OpenWrt (and in fact probably has better support).
