At least in theory. Do you do this yourself? Heard of others doing it?
I've been running oVirt on RHEL for years for development.
This is basically RHV without the branding and support.
Why do you think this is an unused configuration?
I personally only use, for development, either CentOS Stream 8 +
oVirt,
or RHEL+RHV. Over the years we did get reports of people using RHEL+oVirt,
and also fixed a few bugs around this. But if not many people do, we'll
not hear about the problems, if any, so won't fix them...

We did get here a few reports about this. I didn't try this myself.
Generally speaking, it should work, with current master (4.5), and if
not, should be rather easy to patch/fix. Not sure about 4.4.

Not sure why you think so. Isn't that exactly the same thing people
are using when using CentOS? What's the difference? Indeed, if people
want to use Rocky/Alma/etc and insist on not using anything from CentOS,
they'll have to rebuild these manually, unless there is already a
relevant repo with these rebuilt on Rocky/Alma/etc., which I am not
aware of.
The difference is consuming the advanced virtualization from centos repos
which may disappear since centos is EOL. I don't think we can recommend
such deployment to anyone.
