Yes, some items, if you really need 10 years, would require Alma or

Low risk updates over a ten year support cycle are the number one reason we've
all been using "classic" CentOS in the first place.
I have been there for the same reason solely. Switching to "rolling
release" style distribution (Like Debian and clones, or FreeBSD - the
last is no Linux ;-) will occasionally require a but of work when some
component steps up and does need a bit of config adjustment, but it pays
off by smooth in-place upgrade (which I just did on one box from Debian
9 "stretch" to Debian 10 "buster", and was doing FreeBSD upgrades same
smoothly through multiple releases during last decade...)
Just my 2 cents.
