IMHO the proper thing to do would be to investigate why you experience
the issues with .local instead of rewritting software which uses .local
addresses.

Unless you have disabled weak dependencies in dnf, avahi and nss-mdns is
installed together with CUPS, and .local resolution works fine with
them. (The other issue is that 'driverless' binary sometimes fails to
provide driverless ipp uri, which is a problem during searching for
printers, but ippfind always finds the device just fine. I track it here
[1])

I tried Avahi+resolved setup too and address resolving worked as well,
but it needed more steps to make it work (enable mdns in resolved and
enable mdns and llmr in NM for your network interface).

If the resolution still doesn't work after checking your setup, it would
be great if you filed a bug against nss-mdns or resolved, based on which
solution do you use.
