Please note Fedora support within oVirt project is a best-effort task.
There's no testing of oVirt on Fedora done by the core development team.
That said, I would be happy if you contribute fedora testing :-)

I'm not sure to understand what you're looking into now since you talk
about real hardware and VMs in the same sentence.
Suggested minimal deployment is 3 real hardware hosts as hypervisor nodes
and hosted engine with hyperconverged deployment.
You can use oVirt Node iso in order to do the whole deployment using
cockpit.
