Would OpenBSD solve both of these issues or is there a device ID in there that I’m not aware of.

I’ve seen that it uses a different init system and doesn’t rely on either dbus or systemd

OpenBSD’s equivalent is the hw.uuid sysctl: https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.2#HW_UUID~2

Other BSDs don’t have that, but have equivalent PCI tree identifiers. “hostid”, too, is found on many systems but is much less unique as it’s often a function of local network address.
