Safer: no.  Marketing claims.

Faster: depends.  With DCO, OpenVPN can be faster, because AES-GCM is
hardware accelerated on many Intel/AMD CPUs while chacha-poly is not -
without DCO, or on platforms that have chacha-poly in hardware, wireguard
will be faster.

Also, OpenVPN needs DCO to scale really well on multi-core systems
where a single CPU might not be able to serve the load for many clients.
