I highly recommend the article John Corbet wrote for LWN a week ago:

TL;DR, the sky is not falling, let's see how systemd evolves and
succeds, fails, or it's replaced.

As long as there are developers willing and able to support OpenRC in
Gentoo (and it looks like there are), that will be the case. To make
sure that this remains to be true, help them.

It's actually a great thing for a lot of use cases. But it doesn't
seem that Gentoo will change defaults soon, although systemd works
great with it.
