Since the concept of having a lts distribution that is supported by
redhat/centos is more or less 'unavailable'. I thought about using the
repo of dovecot with centos8stream.

Im surprised at how little people are aware of this. Oracle linux has
been around since 2006 and is an exact port of RHEL. The only difference
between Centos and Oracle is the repos. You can migrate your current
Centos to Oracle by only changing out the repo files in
/etc/yum.repos.d/
Ive been using Oracle Linux for about a year now beside Centos8 setting
up identical services on both servers to experience if there are any
differences. Everything has translated over 1:1 between both. Every
command has been identical except for the names of adding repos. For
example:
Centos8: dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
Oracle8: dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol8_codeready_builder
But after you add in the repo, the package names for services are
identical so you can use the same dnf install commands on both.
