I was about to say that we use it over UDP, but... we don't. We have a
small number of clients, maybe ten(?) that use the VPN for remote
administration.

UDP is recommended, references[1] are easy to google. Why we're running
it over TCP I don't know. I must have had a good reason =)

It performs fine anyway, but now I'm considering flipping it to UDP to
see what happens. At least I'll be in the office when it breaks.
