After a cursory scan of the Gentoo repository, I've noticed an

I would like to draw attention and see if we can clean these up together.

A lot of this is covered in the service script guide:

   https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/blob/master/service-script-guide.md

There's a 2.5-year old bug to mention it in the devmanual:

   https://bugs.gentoo.org/684354

For sure, there are several points that document covers that are reiterated here.

However some variable options are not covered there. They do exist in the openrc-run manual. My main point is how to best use these options and that some scripts are not taking full advantage.
