But currently VPNaaS does not support OVN and while using namespaces is an option I would love to see "native" VPN (site2site ipsec and Wireguard) support in OVN.

We (and our customers) have to create IPsec site2site VPNs to all kind 
of devices of our customers (eg. Cisco ASA, M0n0wall, ...)

There was some effort but it was never finished:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/networking-ovn/+bug/1586253

This solution was based on Linux namespaces but natvie IPsec site2site 
VPN support in OVN would be much more solid.

NSX-T also supports Neutron-VPNaaS:

So I guess OVN could as well?
