Only if you’re happy with your CPU being pegged at 100% whenever you go beyond 40 mbit/s.
I’d rather use wireguard and get 800 mbit/s.

Thankfully we never had to try them for real to see how horribly that would have gone under real load.
I was using either AES-256-GCM or AES-256-CBC.
It could also be default configs not set right. Brief google search tells me to tweak myriad of buffers and config options… Some saying without changing buffers they were limited to 100mbps for example. Lots said changing to udp/changing mtu/buffer/etc helped…
I agree with you that it should be fine/fast enough. That was my expectation too! However my testing in real life showed it not to be and it’s a common issue for openvpn. The easiest solution seems to be wire guard rather then tweaking random stuff with no idea what’s bottlenecks
