Thanks! I don't care much about being fully RHEL compatible, or no ABI changes at all. I just want a system that gets security fixes quickly with as little chances of breaking things as possible.

How about a lightweight immutable distro, like say Fedora CoreOS or openSUSE MicroOS? Fedora CoreOS in particular has had a good track record delivering patches quickly. Like for CopyFail was pushed to the stable channel in about a day, IIRC, but the patch was already available within a few hours of disclosure in the "next" / testing channel. Talos and Flatcar are also worth considering if you want an even smaller attack surface, from what I heard they weren't even affected by CopyFail.

  Fedora is a staging environment for RHEL

    This oversimplifies reality. Fedora has a community and actively makes decisions RHEL has no interest in. But yes they also help with testing many things.

  Been there, done that. Less changes are just better.
