Allright after reading the bug report you've shared and looking again at the logs I felt you were right on it, so I tried to update dnf to the latest version, put hosted-engine in global maintenance and then rerun engine-setup. It looks like the problem is fixed, thanks a lot again!!

[ INFO  ] Execution of setup completed successfully

After the update:
# rpm -q dnf
dnf-4.7.0-4.el8.noarch
