I am not an employee of Puppet Labs, but for our own product, we decided that we were not going to support Centos Stream because a) none of our customers planned to use it, and b) it was not stable enough for us to guarantee the performance of our product on it. For that matter we ceased work on CentOS 8 server support the moment Red Hat made their announcement that they were ending support for the OS early. It was a relief, actually, because internally we have now standardized on Ubuntu LTS and are migrating our older CentOS platforms to Ubuntu LTS as they reach end of life, and adding another platform that was incompatible with both CentOS 7 and Ubuntu LTS was proving difficult. Red Hat Software made some decisions with RHEL 8 to a) boost their own application platform software, and b) remove competing application platform software, and our server product requires one of those competing application platform software packages that had been in RHEL for over a decade.
I must say that I've been very pleased with Ubuntu 20 LTS. Its mature and stable ZFS support in particular has been a joy on my personal NAS server here at home. When that NAS server was running CentOS 7, ZFS was regularly getting broken by kernel updates. No such oddities in Ubuntu LTS.
