In our usage, the same network interface that OpenVPN traffic goes out on often also must carry large traffic to other destinations that not uncommonly go through some low mtu path. In these cases we have to manually set mtu to a setting that most likely is much lower than OpenVPN might sense it as. 

OpenVPN will not touch the LAN MTU, just its own tun/tap interface
(and it does not look at "outgoing interface MTU" anyway - it will
do path MTU sensing if supported, or just statically calculated).
