Because all Linux packages required by Postgres will continue to be updated. This is not really a PostgreSQL question, it's more of a RedHat question I'd say. In general, no. If you install from source you will have a different kind of dependency management, and you need to handle all of that manually. As long as you do, there shouldn't be issues. That said, what are your dependency conflicts? As long as you're using the PGDG repositories on RHEL7 it should work without that. There have been some issues with PostGIS on RHEL8, but I think they are mostly fine on RHEL7. But if you don't actually show us what your dependency problems are, we can't tell you how to fix it...
