Thanks for doing this! It's a good overview.

I can clarify that a bit. We have Application Streams and separately
the AppStream repo. The AppStream repo contains the Application
Streams, but it also contains things that are still part of the
standard OS that aren't what we'd consider "Base" or "core". In RHEL
8, the actual Application Streams are listed here:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel8-app-streams-life-cycle
We'll have a similar page for RHEL 9 when that is released, but your
list of languages and RDBMS in CentOS Stream 9 is a good start. Also,
the python language stack will be slightly different in 9. We still
have a system python (platform-python in RHEL8/CentOS Stream 8), which
is python 3.9 but the packaging format is a more traditional RPM
packaging. The same concept applies to the system level gcc, and
therefore libgcc.
RHEL 8 does not include Tomcat either, so that is not new.

Yes, it will change over time.
