They dropped "releases". What it is now appears to be a continuous stream of rolling updates with no defined 7.9 release, just a stream.
For a stable OS I am not sure that is any better or worse than releases.
With fedora changing major package versions it might cause chaos, but it probably would not be that much worse.
I sometimes hold off updating until I am 2 versions out and will say run on 32 for a year and when it goes out of support go 32->33 and 33->34 quickly, and then stay on 34 for a while.
On the original question:
If you want/need cutting edge libraries and tools for your development, then you need to use fedora or something similar.
If you are ok with potentially using a 5 year old patched library and/or compiler and/or tools with none of the new features then go with one of the enterprise type distributions.
If you attempt to make the enterprise cutting edge you end up doing a lot of work to install extra libraries in separate locations so that your enterprise OS still functions with the expected libraries. Even if you do this right bringing down and installing the newer tools is enough work that you should just use fedora as that should have better resources to ask questions.

Except Redhat has dropped CentOS. They announced it in December;
lessee...here's an article:
https://talesfromthedatacenter.com/2020/12/centos-and-the-bomb-that-ibm-red-hat-dropped/
I've not been following what's happened in the few months since then, but
the end result will still probably be that CentOS isn't the go-to it was.
