Constantly changing the name/command of the package manager seems like a huge annoyance to end users at best, and a point of discouragement at worst.
Think about all the guides that can be found via search engines for how to do things in a given OS. If we're constantly changing the package manager/command, even if syntax is similar or identical, it's raising the bar of entry for inexperienced users. For this reason I think it makes far more sense to let "dnf5" eventually just become "dnf" even if that means some features/flags are simply dropped.
