On the linux front, I've used a mixture of RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu for about the last 10-15 years, so the whole CentOS thing was a bit of an annoyance, but I gave the CentOS Stream side of things a go.
And I'd probably describe it as less of a "bleeding-edge" rolling release, more a "boring-edge" rolling release. Yes it's a rolling release, but packages are going in as a final shakedown before release into RHEL, so it's really quite far away from experimental.
And I've not really noticed any material difference from pre-stream. I'm still able to use my CentOS boxes in the same way as I did before - in some cases as build boxes for things to be deployed onto RHEL boxes.
(And, to be honest, those example use cases are probably places where I would be seeking to use a commercially supported distribution, rather than a community supported one. Albeit a community supported distribution that copies/replicates a commercially supported distribution.)
