I don't have exceptional experience with either Alma or Rocky, but I've been administering enterprise Red Hat and CentOS for years. 1.5 years in enterprise time is hardly any time at all. Heck, it takes that time to approve a budget in some enterprises. Yeah, time-to-release is an important metric, but software compatibility and industry support is really the magic sauce. In my industry, we'll be using current CentOS 7 installs until EOL, and watch all derivatives with interest over the long term - given they provide anything over current RH ecosystem (RHEL, CentOS Stream, Fedora).
