Looking at it, I think I'm gonna use one of the numerous pi 3 b+'s I have sitting around as an AP and keep the OpenBSD box as a router.

As you've probably realized by now, I'm new to wireless networking. Do you know of any good resources off the top of your head to better learn? I've been DDG/Googling for stuff as I need it, but there's still a lot of unknown unknowns here for me.

If you have the hardware around then yeah, that should at least give you a basic level of 802.11ac support. It's still going to be limited though because the USB-based ethernet can only do 300ish megabits per second.

I like Ubiquiti's UniFi line. They're easy to work with in stock form and their stock firmware is based on OpenWRT so it's easy to flash them to a fully open configuration if you want.

Unfortunately I do not, I've just built up knowledge organically over years of messing with WiFi.
