CentOS Stream is pretty stable. Have you ever tried it?

Are you talking about stability in terms of reliability/uptime or the unchanging consistency of the ABIs/APIs of the packaged RPMs Libraries/RPCs etc?
Since it is both that has been offered by the finally released Red Hat Enterprise Linux & the CentOS ( pre-stream ) clones.

Both. ABI goes without saying actually because an ABI change would not make it past CI for those libraries where RHEL guarantees stability.
