As I wrote in another reply, for each problem and each admin there is a different solution. The RB750Gr3 runs IPsec at >450Mbit/s which is enough for most users. Do not use OpenVPN on these devices, use L2TP/IPsec or GRE/IPsec.
I am currently in mail exchange with someone who wants to configure AMPRnet access on a VPS using standard Linux software. Easy peasy when you ask me, but it is a nightmare to get someone going who has no Linux admin skills at all and is only cutting/pasting error messages all the time, and not really reading the directions or able to debug things without constant hand-helding. With a MikroTik he would be going, with the Linux system he is only whining and complaining. (but others get it working after only a single message with some hints)
Read back in the 44Net mail archives and you can see the same discussion over and over, so I think this is enough for now.

I'll add a comment here, since I've used the RB750G gear and RPi boards extensively as routers. I *highly* recommend the RPi4B! The difference in SoC processing power is massive, when crunching crypto for VPNs, enough RAM for BGP and other system services, etc. There are many OS/distro sources available and the very latest software version are only a few clicks away.
Also, MikroTik support for OpenVPN is seriously lacking--beyond the concern for simply having crummy data thru-put due to crypto processing overhead. I've got several RB750G routers, they're all sitting on the shelf, these days.
