I actually do remember reading a fleeting mention of it somewhere in
the vast sea of stuff I read when trying to catch up on this issue...

Not sure I understand what you are saying here...
Are you saying that some of the people who suggested OpenRC actually
provided BAD examples - meaning, examples that were destined to result
in problems - of how to use it in Debian? If so, maybe that was on
purpose, to decrease the chances of OpenRC being a real contender?
The fact is, OpenRC has been the default init system on gentoo since I
don't know when, and I have *never* had an init problem on any of my
gentoo systems - although I admittedly never use unstable/testing for
system-critical packages either...
