GL.iNet routers are trustworthy? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm looking to replace my portable modem with a GL.iNet router because I saw that they claim to use OpenWRT which is a open source firmware.

My question is:

Is their OpenWRT version actually reliable?

I bought a Slate Plus just last month and simply flashed it with vanilla OpenWRT as soon as I opened the box. I certainly wouldn't trust the stock firmware, but this is so easy to remedy it's barely worth talking about.
