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
