If you’re relying on the free offering that’s competitive directly with their enterprise offering and your organization is so large that it’s going to take over a year to switch - you should have probably been paying for RHEL to begin with. My midsize outfit that was running from top to bottom on centos did everything you described over the course of about 2 months to switch to Alma Linux. Hundreds of servers managed by an amount of guys I can count on one hand. Sorry not sorry, but large outfits expecting to coast on a free offering don’t get sympathy from me.
