No, because VoIP-over-OpenVPN would be "data channel".
It would help with "control channel handshake takes very long due to packet
loss".
There's a different patchset floating around (I think it's a PR, actually)
that promises to add data-channel redundancy and being able to recover some
amount of packet loss without retransmit. Which I find very interesting,
but this has not been followed up due to "it's complex and nobody has time"
reasons.
