I would personally like to go this route (Alma+EPEL) myself. Yes I
work for Red Hat and even if I didn't I could get the copies of the
code via the Red Hat Developers program.. but dealing with a
subscription manager while trying to build on Fedora 3X etc has not
been reliable for me. [And saying that I could use a dedicated RHEL8
virtual machine is only going to work for EL8. You would need to have
fedpkg and similar tools in EPEL-9 for the tools to work in EL9.]
