Changing the check as suggested to:
if (!is_volatile && !is_nm_generated && !is_external) {
...
does help and netplan files for tun0 and tun1 are not written anymore.
But, when I create a VPN connection I still have problems.
$ network-manager.nmcli c import type openvpn file <open_vpn_cfg>

Note that when you create an OpenVPN connection both a normal NM
connection and a new tunnel device (tun2) are created. NM creates a
external device for tun2. The interesting thing here is that the file
for tun2 is written after setting down the connection, and the NM daemon
actually forgets it (until you restart it and reads the netplan file).
Maybe this storing is in a different code path.

Title:
netplan network-manager plugin tries to save temporary connections
Status in netplan:
Triaged
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When creating an OpenVPN connection, a temporal connection called tunN
is created. For instance, after activating a connection called
vpntest, I have:
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
vpntest 458856e6-8f0f-4dc6-82f2-dd72868252a0 vpn ens3
tun0 1eb1dbe8-5678-4818-9adf-fb2dc01ed132 tun tun0
tun0 is created/removed after activating/deactivating vpntest and
should not really be saved, but I see netplan adding it in
/etc/netplan. And while doing so the plugin also reports some errors
(I see these when stopping the connection):
