Not when installing packages.

My understanding is that --best can erase stuff (outside of obsoletes)
and I don't want to do that in scripts.



afaik, --best don't erase stuff, you need --allowerasing for that

--best
Try the best available package versions in transactions. Specifically during dnf upgrade, which by default skips over updates that can not be installed for dependency reasons, the switch forces DNF to only consider the latest packages and possibly fail giving a reason why the latest version can not be installed.
