CentOS is tested extensively in oVirt, the RHV upstream opes-source
project. In fact,
most of the project's build and test infrastructure is based on CentOS
VMs running on
oVirt.
Having said that, if your customer bought RHV support licenses,
running CentOS on it
may or may not violate his support licensing terms. Please verify that with an
official RedHat sales representative or a TAM.
Please note that this response is based on my personal knowledge only
and should not considered an an official response from Red Hat in any
way.

I'm no expert on this, but I think I recall that licensing RHEL
instances on RHV is
way cheaper then licensing them on VMware or any other virtualization
infrastructure,
maybe you should look into this. </sales pitch ;>
If he still prefers to stay on CentOS, perhaps he can be convinced to
use oVirt so he
can still jump-ship from VMware.
