I believe this is a general discussion which will come often up. Even though OpenVPN is not multi-threaded today, there are no guarantee that this will not change. If we get an implementation which will handle multi-threading, I will favour that one. I believe OpenVPN will in the future need to bite the (bitter?) apple and really look into threading. So I lean towards JJO here, as far as possible, avoid using functions which are not thread safe.
