What would one have to look out for if one does keep an EOL Fedora for

I would think the lack of any security updates would be a more serious
problem than this.
ACK. Not upgrading Fedora in time would be grossly negligent, IMHO.
Also, a lot of Fedora packages make it into EPEL, which can be installed
on CentOS/RHEL.
If you have a closer look at EPEL, you'll notice that many packages are
stuck without bug/security fixes , because the foundation underneath
(RHEL/CentOS) is too outdated and out of control of EPEL package
maintainers.
It's one reason for me to favor Fedora over CentOS+EPEL.
