Opus is always better - but at high bitrates, artifacts become so
imperceptible that it doesn't matter too much which codec you pick, so
you might still pick Vorbis for greater compatibility.

As has been seen, the threats against Vorbis were all hollow. If your
claims are baseless, it doesn't matter if the unspecified patents are
expired or not :)

In general, Opus adoption has been very fast compared to Vorbis because
it is vastly better than other options in the low-delay niche, and is
mandatory for WebRTC.
