Those 3 same systems will be affected by disabling the megaraid storage controller, as they are using Dell PERC H710p mini.

That's not a big issue - elrepo.org have kmod packaged drivers to support the megaraid storage controller for RHEL at their repository and can release drives to support this hardware on RHEL 10 if Red Hat choose to end support. As you have identified, CPU support is the main issue here.
Personally, I'm in favour of a move to x86_64-v3, but I understand why others may not be.

I have 3 systems which are capable of the AVX instruction set fortunately in my home lab. However unfortunately not other parts of the v3 base line.

Dear Sir/Madam,
You’re currently exploring raising the instruction set base line, which will exclude some systems and also people (who are unable to afford to upgrade to reach the new baseline). I however want to draw your attention to the plans, to disable or remove megaraid based hardware from Dell. Doing so will cause issues and leave behind people in the home lab community behind. Also there’s also videos circulating from as recently as during 2022 recommending the Dell PowerEdge R620 rack servers.
The people in the home lab community are in essence a source of recommendations for people considering whether or not to acquire Red Hat’s services. So having them on side is a very good thing!
Just something to consider during RHEL 10’s development.
I will also point out with my contributor hat on, I would have some serious trouble with a raised baseline to x86_64-v3, as I only have one computer that is capable of it (barely). The rise to x86_64-v2 was painful enough, but -v3 would be quite a problem for me and result in throwing away even more hardware, which is not exactly a very environmentally friendly thing to do...
