Cool, but neither Fedora nor CentOS Stream are rolling releases, so there's no reason to worry about this with any of the systems in discussion.
2. Others who write code need to have predictable behaviour out of their systems, it's hard to write code when the goalposts keep changing. If coding is your job, you may well jump to another distro that's more reliable.
The API/ABI policy is the same for CentOS Stream as it is for the corresponding RHEL release, so the goalposts aren't going to move any more on CentOS Stream than they do on RHEL (or on CentOS today).
On Fedora, of course, the goalposts may shift at roughly 6 month intervals.
I use CentOS on a server, here, because Fedora's rapid changes are too disruptive (to me) but Fedora is tolerable on a workstation. I stuck at CentOS 7 because of what I read about 8, first triggered off when I read the end-of-life dates for both systems. I'll probably be replacing the hardware when 7 goes end of life.
I don't know what you've read about CentOS Stream, but the vast majority of what I've read from sources outside Red Hat have been pure FUD. An awful lot of people have entirely the wrong idea about what's happening.
