I too had been surprised by the lack of supervision in OpenBSD.

About OpenBSD, almost: You can set rc_bg if the daemon doesn't
background itself. See rc.subr(8).

/etc/daily runs "rcctl ls failed", so you get an email of the failed daemons.
This is not supervision, but it is close enough for me.
Maybe I prefer it actually.

Yes
