They have come a very long way since the UAP-AC.

I've been using the U6-Pro backed by UCG-Max and couldn't be happier.

Yes - the software running on the standalone APs is still basically OpenWRT wrapped with a management layer. But UniFi has grown to a much larger system. All the router boxes are running Debian, for example (even those with a built-in AP).

I agree. The AC-LR and AC-LITE were way better than the -AC. That guy ran extremely hot and was dogshit at multicast. In contrast, the -LITE and -LR merely ran notably hot and were merely intermittently bad at multicast.

Loading up OpenWRT on the -LR and -LITE made them work quite a lot better (though -obviously- they still ran just as warm). Ditching them for the OpenWRT One was even nicer.

I've also been able to deploy UniFi for my parents and my wife's parents, and easily manage their setups remotely.

OpenWRT does that too, yeah.
