To the best of my knowledge, OpenWRT retains all manually installed packages during system upgrade if you use their "sysupgrade" utility, with the exception of the x86_64 platform. On x86_64, upgrading is indeed a pain. But then there is the "Attended Sysupgrade", which I have not tried yet: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sysupgrade
