ipsec.conf(5) was added for 3.8, and improved between then and
-current. isakmpd.conf(5) is no longer present in -current, so it
makes sense to use ipsec.conf(5) right away.

Yes, there are some advantages over isakmp/ipsec:-

simple end-user install on the Windows side
compression works well
you can bridge an ethernet to a remote Windows box (helps with
some MS protocols)
per-user authentication (rather than per-host)

(some of these are handled by MS' l2tp(ppp)-ipsec hybrid but
not by standard ipsec).

disadvantages:-

openvpn is more complicated to install on OpenBSD than ipsec
lots of security fixes
