Asuswrt-Merlin is an alternative, customized version of that firmware. Developed by Eric Sauvageau, its primary goals are to enhance the existing firmware without bringing any radical changes <...............>New feature addition is very low on the list of priorities for this project.

I think Merlin has enough on his plate already.

It takes a bit of work but you can get it running:

I've been using it for a while when I want to get a bit more performance over OpenVPN.

No. OpenVPN is the only VPN technology that I actively develop and support for the firmware.

Form what I've observed, shadowsocks is mostly about getting around the Great Firewall (and perhaps others).

And OpenVPN's new tls-crypt support will accomplish the same thing.

Yes, that's what I want to use it for.

How do I enable this? Which value to set for "TLS control channel security"?

Set it to Encrypt Channel, then see the OpenVPN 2.4 manual on how to configure it. Basically, you will have to generate a private key (using OpenVPN itself, not OpenSSL).
