All,
I'd rather base against either Rocky or Alma in the shorter term, or Ubuntu/Debian for a longer view. oVirt IMHO is a superior product to anything else if you know your way around it. Fantastic and informative GUI, a great set of APIs, and pretty solid in terms of storage support. I'm running it hyperconverged over ZFS+DRBD with Corosync and Pacecmaker in a 2 node cluster.
Basing on CentOS Stream means we should work just fine on AlmaLinux easily enough. From a platform expansion perspective, the easiest would be to add SUSE distributions. We can reuse most of our infrastructure today to build for openSUSE, since it's largely compatible with our existing platforms.
I'm currently running a cluster on Rocky 8 and it's working perfectly at the moment. I'm not a fan of Gluster for its small I/O performance but I'm sure it's still a useful option for running VMs with heavy storage requirements with lesser small I/O performance requirements.
Fedora would get you fired from a lot of SME or enterprise environments. And with the mess around IBM/RH who knows if they'll drop OpenShift next and pull the devs out of OKD?
I think you'd be surprised how many people use Fedora in a business production environment. With the right automation and management, Fedora is an easy platform to work with. As for dropping OpenShift and pulling out of OKD, that would be ludicrous. It's their moneymaker right now: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/red-hat_congrats-to-the-openshift-team-on-hit... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
