My (personal) sense is that in the medium-term we may end up moving to
not having any default at all, just as with bootloaders, kernels,
syslog, crontab, mail, etc. That is pretty-much the Gentoo way
everywhere else when there are options.
As you already pointed out, as long as somebody cares to maintain
openrc and write init scripts for it, there will be support for it.
Many init scripts and systemd units are contributed by outside users
already, and policy is that maintainers cannot block them from being
added to packages (though they do not have to write/maintain them
personally).
Gentoo doesn't really tend to exclude anything, and inclusion is a
matter of whether somebody wants to put in the work.
