From the OPNsense changelog for 22.1..
"The Realtek vendor driver is no longer bundled with the updated FreeBSD kernel. If unsure whether FreeBSD 13 supports your Realtek NIC please install the os-realtek-re plugin prior to upgrading to retain operability of your NICs."

It's a shame they moved away from HardenedBSD. I'm hoping that someone forks the project to continue with the HardenedBSD backend.

They're definitely not fine. That's the whole point of the comment.

Newer Realteks seem to be fine in comparison although I've mostly used Intel dual-NICs.

What I meant (and expressed poorly) was that all home users with moderate technical proficiency (and up) should absolutely use this.
I am tempted to put OPNsense 22.1 on some hardware for my small home network.

Just updated to 22.1, and the upgrade went well -- with one huge (for me) exception. OPNsense has deprecated their Dynamic-DNS client (not well maintained on GitHub, but has been rock-solid (for me) for several years), and the replacement seems to be, at best, pathetic, and only supports a few DDNS servers.
It seems I would have been fine until 22.7 (scheduled for 6 months from now) when they'll officially remove the current DDNS client from their distro. But, one of my pet-peeves is to avoid time-bombs to the extent possible.
My solution was to shut down their DDNS stuff, and add an update client (srsly just a 1-line cron-job) to a machine that I already run 24x7.
Overall, I'm still trying to decide how 'happy' I am with this update (and yeah, I've contributed to OPNsense, but not enough to get a vote).
