In the strictest sense, it obviously is not. But in a very real practical sense, it absolutely is. Aside from the kernel issues (which I firmly believe are solvable), people are generally not going to notice a difference between CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream 8.
My CentOS Linux 8 boxes were replaced with CentOS Stream 8 back in the spring because it was strictly better for production *and* development. I've been in the process of opportunistically switching our build targets from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8 most of the year. With the retirement of CentOS Linux 8, it now becomes more of a priority, but it was already going to happen.
As I understood it, Stream is not in full swing yet, there is no active/daily contribution from RHEL team? What will happen to your system when/if there is new kernel change every few days? How much "punishment" can your system handle safely?
