Diff below implements that approach.

Right. So if you end up uninstalling OpenBSD and reinstall it later,
it might not boot into OpenBSD by default.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. The only reason I see for
not setting BootNext is when someone runs installboot -c manually and
doesn't immediately reboot. Then booting into OpenBSD might come as a
surprise when the system gets rebooted eventually. I don't think this
would be a huge issue.
