How do updates/security updates look on C7/C8 until then? Assuming you don’t have any C8? Otherwise, stable updates are going to be problematic converting those to Stream, no? Also, I wouldn’t myself count on Red Hat not welching on that C7 2024 EOL date. I can’t see them not pushing that up honestly.
As far as whether CentOS was a success or not, of course it was a massive success. The circumstances of its unnaturally accelerated death don’t change its wild popularity/usage/prevalence.

Given that C8 was supposed to be supported into 2029[0] and then they cut it to 2021, that does seem plausible enough...

- INTPenis 5y agoI have several Kubernetes clusters, Postgres and Mariadb clusters on CentOS 7. I'm not worried about updates, at least not until 2023. I am not going to put any money on Stream right now. It's just too unstable. In fact, we're a RedHat partner so I'd rather migrate to RHEL. But of course management love me when I save money. :) And I'm not worried about migrating C7 to a new distro either, as long as the cluster software is the same you can add new nodes and remove old ones gradually. My knee jerk reaction to CentOS dying was horror but now I'm much more relaxed.
