FreeBSD made many cool moves in the 14.0 release, like finally getting rid of sendmail and adopting DMA (the irony), so perhaps there's a chance?

But FreeBSD has always been much less focused on polish/cleanliness than OpenBSD; I mean - they have THREE firewalls, wtf.

I've not used ipf, but ipfw and pf have a different model and different features (although in 14.0, there's more overlap). I have to use them both.
