How's the firmware support/availability? For things like graphics tablets, graphics drivers, etc?

I don't think OpenBSD has binary compat with Linux but most Linux software should just need a recompile for BSDs—I'm discouraged from porting given that when it's not a simple recompile I'd have much less idea what to do.

i don't have a wacom tablet to test, sorry. generally all seems to work, graphics driver seem to be ported over from linux and synced to latest periodically. it might be better because i never have the latest hardware..

indeed most things should just work after recompiling, but with freebsd's great linux compat you can just run docker containers for example.
