As I read this the plan is to drop the devel package from the shipping
repos but it is still available in the buildroot.

But then there is this:

== Dependencies ==
No packages should depend on openssl1.1-devel packages that is eliminated.

But if the devel package is eliminate then doesn't this mean completely
dropping OpenSSL 1.x?

I assume it's a nuanced thing. Can you clarify this?

What about a plan to drop OpenSSL 1.x support entirely. Should that be
included in this or is it out-of-scope. Maybe a look-ahead (e.g " in the
F38-39 series we'll look to kill it entirely.")

What does this mean for reproducible builds if the devel package is not
shipped?
