The biggest problem I have is that they only support (or at least that's what they release publicly) x86_64. I am forced to use openwrt because the vast majority of consumer low-power hardware is using ARM or exotic architectures. VyOS interface is vastly superior, though.

VyOS is not targeted for such usage scenarios. It is ISP who are paying for support. I have VyOS systems with BGP, MPLS, PPPoE termination, etc that are pushing gigabits of traffic. This is VyOS usecase. Not 5W router handling home or small office.
I've used EdgeOS in the past and it's perfect for SOHO routers too, but unfortunately is half full of proprietary extensions and semi-abandoned. I think VyOS could take its place nicely, openwrt feels like a toy compared.
