OFSandbox currently maps more or less 1:1 to OpenBSD's pledge()and unveil(). While those are great APIs that are easy to adopt for applications, it's unclear whether the current OFSandbox could be adopted to other sandboxing frameworks like seccomp-bpf or Capsicum.

OFSandbox is private in 1.0 for now ([510628432f]) until this gets solved.

Landlock landed in Linux 5.13, which works similarly to pledge() / unveil(). Implementing OFSandbox with Landlock will probably be a good sanity check on whether the API is generic enough.
