I would also keep in mind, depending upon your use of C7, that a lot of
packages have not yet been created for CentOS-8. I had to build several
from srpms (some from older Fedora ones, like F28 and F30) and some from
C7 srpms. (By the way, if anyone made an rpm for C8 for weechat, please
send me a direct email, I've been unable to get a version that works with
weechat's python support).
Anyway, figure out your essential programs and make sure they're available
in CentOS-8. You will almost certainly want to enable the EPEL-testing repo
as well as a few others (such as rpmfusion if you're using any multimedia
stuff).
If you're using it as a basic server without X, you're probably alright.
