Judging by the FAQ in the link you've shared, this provider is not affected.

Will OpenTF work with all the providers and modules Terraform works with?
Yes

Thank you for your answer.

From a technical perspective, I expect that it will be a no-op for the time being as OpenTF anticipates maintaining compat/interop for the foreseeable future. (However, OpenTF has stated that some functionality may be added to OpenTF that is a superset of what's in base Terraform. [source])

From a process perspective:

1. If there is a bug in OpenTF that does not exist in Terraform (or vice-versa), will bug reports (as they pertain to this project) be treated equally on both platforms?

2. Will testing be performed with code targeting both platforms?

3. For OpenTF's potential future "superset" functionality, will that be treated as a first-class citizen?

I understand that this project exists under the https://github.com/hashicorp org. But I don't know how contributions are managed or decided-upon. Hence the questions. :)

Hey @skyzyx 👋 Thank you for taking the time to raise this, and for your interest in the Terraform ecosystem. HashiCorp continues to support the AWS provider, there is no change to our support and development plans.
