Well, in my opinion I'd keep using CentOS. Currently, CentOS 7 powers all of the VPSes which I personally own and even those which I maintain for my clients. It's a super-stable OS, and there's nothing really you can complain of. Yes, the package manager is outdated, but if you know how to build them from source, you've landed on the perfect choice with CentOS.
Coming to CentOS Stream, I'd use it instead of Fedora. Basically, I doubt CentOS users would switch to Fedora, they're more comfortable here. I know that RHEL base stability may not be guaranteed, but it isn't not guaranteed as well. We'll have to wait till trying it out ourselves.
Personally, if CentOS Stream suits my needs it'll be the OS that I'd be using as well. I hate switching systems, not that I can't work with Ubuntu/Debian, but I really like the CentOS base. As a end user myself, I'm completely okay with this change. Sometimes, just switches are necessary for progress. Now are these changes for the good, or the worse, we will see.

I just read up briefly about Rocket Linux, from the last post. Looks to be quite interesting to me, I'm eagerly waiting for their updates, indeed sounds a promising project.
