It seems PIA has created an OpenVPN compatible client for iOS which
could save some time.

This was probably done because you can't release 'regular' OpenVPN 2.x
or 3.x in the Apple appstore due to a GPL license problem.

The PIA implementation looks pretty nice.

This would certainly be the most preferred way 2 go. Makes no sense to
have multiple implementations; this will fork the community. However for
iOS it seems 2.x and 3.x can't be used if you like to release your own
client in the appstore.
