A 3 element beam puts the feedpoint near the center and likely within
grasp for a bit of tweaking from the mast. I view it as the right tool
for the job. An OWA is a good pick for the wide band HF. And it is not
a good pick for WARC.

True, however unless you have a good way to model the hairpin, an OWA is
easier build since it will work with little if any adjusting.

30m full size + 4-element 17m combo that uses a conventional hairpin
match on both bands. The 12m is a similar hairpin matched type. The
WARC bands are so narrow vs. the frequency that you don't run into the
issues that we have on much wider bands.
My other antennas for the conventional HF bands are OWA type. And that
is for all the reasons mentioned prior.
