The whole 3.0 rewrite is a massive regression in all ways possible - they deprecated the old engines and replaced them with providers, and they are not that much easier to work with as a developer (I hope that providers are at least easier for the maintainers to handle) and the library is a lot more runtime dynamic (for some reason). This has resulted in mutex explosion and massive performance regressions in every facet. haproxy has an amusing article on the topic.

People who need cryptography but on the openssl API should be using aws-lc and seek a TLS stack elsewhere.
