New router with OpenWrt compatibility out of the box! It’s a fork, but of what I am reading it’s similar approach to GL.iNet routers with little work to flash a vanilla version.

I think I would rather spend a little more and get official hardware, with guaranteed ongoing support and no mystery blobs.

Maybe they’re not “mystery blobs,” but I think you still need binary blobs with MediaTek chips. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though!
I can’t seem to find where to buy the OpenWRT One or when it’s going to ship.

Already found that. Still can’t buy it, still not shipping. 😂
They outlined processes of what happens next since vote was approved on 1-17-2024. According to this, I dont expect anything until end of year or next year before product is ready to be sold
