OpenRsync is from the OpenBSD project. This is typically an indicator of good quality and a good focus on security. However, in this case, even the official website indicates:

OpenBSD often takes an approach of removing rarely-used or archaic functionality to achieve simplicity in code or configuration or improved security. They gutted a lot of openssl when they made libressl. Their OpenSMTPD is vastly simpler than something like postfix or sendmail.

openrsync is very likely good code, but that doesn't mean it replicates every feature of the rsync utility.

OpenBSD removed ACL support though, iirc

OpenBSD's filesystem doesn't have them. It just has normal unix permission bits.
