All guys is in holiday now. Slow reponses!
Yes, the microuter-N300 is included in the support plan. Please bear with us while we work on it. I apologize for the delayed response.
Will these devices (I'm personally interested in the AR300M16) ever be brought to 4.4+, or will updates continue to be made only as bug/security fixes in 4.3.x? I have been using my AR300M16 for OpenVPN TAP bridging to my home network on a server, but 4.3.x doesn't have that feature. That leaves me with using the 3.x firmware, but that's starting to have compatibility issues with more recent OpenVPN updates on the server in addition to not having the security updates in 4.x firmware.

Yeah I was disappointed to see that 4.3.18 seems to be the latest firmware available for AR300M, which I am still happily rocking. 
Since my last post I've purchased a Beryl and now I understand (and am no longer disappointed by) the lack of support for older models. The Beryl is much faster and has dual bands which is a much better setup for acting as a repeater.
I'm kind of a cranky old BOFH and also cheap but I guess everyone needs to eat so I'm happy to support GL iNet by buying newer products as they are the only ones I am aware of giving us all these neat options by way of essentially running on top of OpenWrt.

Earlier today, I finished configuring my new travel router and brought it online for testing. For the first time in six years, I find myself on a trip without relying on a GL.iNet router to VPN back to my home country. For the last three years of full-time traveling, my trusty AR750S has been the gatekeeper for nearly all my data, channeling it securely from wherever I've wandered.
But now, I’ve upgraded to something smaller, faster, and frankly, superior in every way. A device with enough storage, processing power, and RAM to free me from the shackles of OpenWrt. Reboots take seconds, not minutes. WireGuard sings at full throttle, maxing out my host’s internet speeds. Security is top-notch, running a 6.12 LTS kernel on a minimal, secured Debian 12. It’s a breath of fresh air after years of struggle. Its great to see it is still possible to make a small, very fast router.
My loyal AR750S is now powered down, soon destined for e-waste, as I’ve run out of patience waiting for GL.iNet to deliver a fully functional, secure 4.x firmware version for any of the routers I’ve purchased from them. Years of broken promises and forgotten commitments have made it clear: it’s time to move on.
To be fair, I still use up-to-date, supported generic OpenWrt on a couple of AR300Ms for remote VPN servers, and I’ll probably carry my pair of GL.iNet USB150s forever as backup routers, but as far as “fun” goes—this journey hasn’t been. The last four years since @alzhao announced the ill-fated 4.x have been a parade of dashed hopes and empty words on the forums.

Which device do you own now?

Yeah, don't keep us in suspenders! 
The AR750S was very good and innovative for it's time. It's true that it's a bit outdated and not up to speed if you have fast internet line and/or need fast WiFi, but I still like some technological details and it's form factor the best of all GL-Inet devices I own.
For anyone interested in giving this device a second life: Official OpenWRT supports it and it's easy to flash the latest release on it. For me it serves as a tool to experiment with real OpenWRT and as a secondary / backup / travel router in case of need.
