For 4.4.10 your best option is RHEL 8.5. I'm not sure about the status of the RHEL clones (e.g. Rocky). In the past they were missing the advanced virtualization packages, and could be installed using Centos advanced virtuatation packages which probably are not available now (EOL). If you cannot use RHEL, Centos Stream 8 is the only option. This is the version we test on in ovirt system tests. I don't know about any issue with Centos Stream 8 for engine host, but for hosts you are stuck with qemu-6.0, since qemu-6.1 is broken, and 6.2 is not available.
