I know there's a lot of worry, but this particular one doesn't really make
sense. All changes going into CentOS Stream are accepted for inclusion in an
upcoming minor release of RHEL. You get those updates sooner rather than
later, but the net result is the same.
IMO, the "stability" issue with CentOS stream is around the possible
level of "churn" in the package stream.
By way of contrast, there's no question that there will be vastly more
change in the underlying code between one Fedora kernel RPM and the
next. The thing that is potentially (I haven't checked) similar though
is the frequency with which those RPMs are released.
If CentOS Stream is frequently releasing updated kernel RPMs, CentOS
Stream admins still have to either apply those updates and reboot, or
they have to invest the time to understand the (presumably very minor)
differences between those kernel RPMs in order to determine whether they
need to do so.
So it's not stability in the sense of stuff being broken; it's stability
in the sense of stuff being disruptive.
