My setup sounds pretty similar to your own (also use keepass2android,
though not KeePass on Windows).
I would be inclined to compile from source yourself rather than use an
unofficial repo you have no reason to trust for such a sensitive
application.
I'm not trying to besmirch the good name of
copr.fedorainfracloud.org/bugzy but I've never heard of them and if you
hadn't either that would give me pause for thought before I let their
binaries at my passwords.
I'm in a similar position presently, evaluating at password manager apps
and had also come across that KeePassXC build.
I briefly installed the above package to evaluate and also intend to
rebuild it for my own use. Another concern for me was the use of the
'centos' dist tag when the package clearly isn't a 'centos' package.
I've got as far as confirming the validity of the source tarball in the
SRPM and checking the SPEC file. Everything looks fine, but as
previously mentioned I would still rebuild such a sensitive package for
my own use.
The only other potential issue I see is that the latest KeePassXC
requires a newer version of libgcrypt, which the repo above packages as
libgcrypt16 (libgcrypt version 1.6.6) on el7. The release of 1.6 broke
ABI compatibility with version 1.5 in el7. I have not tried building
KeePassXC against libgcrypt-1.5 in el7 to know if that is viable.

I have been using the KeePassX password manager on CentOS 6 and 7 for
some time and it works pretty well. On my Windows machine I use
KeePass which offers a number of features missing from KeePassX, I
also sync the database between several machines, including Android
units where I use keepass2android. Database compatibility is thus
required.
KeePassX, however, does not seem to be maintained any more, the last
update was just a bit less than a year ago. It also has some annoying
bugs, including where switching keyboards on the computer corrupts the
username and the password if they include any character outside the
ASCII range.
There seems to be a community fork called KeePassXC and I would like
to ask if anyone is using this password manager? It is not in EPEL,
nor in any other standard repository, only through an unofficial
repository at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bugzy/keepassxc/,
