Lamar,
Were these deployed on bare metal or as virtual machines? If Virtual
were they on vmware?
Can anyone else chime in on their experience with these platforms in a
vmware environment? Are there any special network card / controller
card settings that have worked best?
Can anyone speak to how well a virtual machine will perform when being
given 1 socket 1 core, vs. 1 socket 2 cores vs 2 sockets 1 core?

Six months on, and no longer too early to tell. I have found Debian
to be minimally different from CentOS, in all actuality; much less
different than transitioning to a *BSD would be. I've transitioned
already deployed and configured production CentOS 8 machines to either
Alma or Rocky (path of least resistance), keeping CentOS 7 machines on
7 until I need to revisit in 2023, and CentOS 6 machines went to
Debian 10. Now, I'm going to say that the availability of both Rocky
and Alma is a very good thing, and that availability made things a lot
easier for a few already deployed production systems that needed to
stay stable through the end of the year.
New servers are being deployed on Debian 10; new virtualization hosts
on Proxmox 6.4, although I am testing the Proxmox 6 to 7 upgrade path
at one site and on my development hosts at the main site. Proxmox is
SLICK. The upgrade path for simple servers from Debian 10 to Debian
11 is relatively simple, with a few caveats (no python 2.x in 11, so
no Mailman 2.x, for instance). I have upgraded a few development
servers from 10 to 11, and no issues were noted.
Your mileage may vary, of course, but I've had a reasonably good
experience with this transition. Thought I'd never say that; I've
been a Red Hat user (partisan, even) for a very long time.
