Is it really necessary to keep those not in default repo(s) - in repos which first have to enabled? But first: -> $ dnf repository-packages extras-common list Error: Unknown repo: 'extras-common' -> $ dnf search extras-common Last metadata expiration check: 0:31:17 ago on Tue 05 Apr 2022 13:32:00 BST.

Second, I think something is wrong with your install if you don't have the extras repository. Maybe you just need an update.
I certainly do not have those below, I do have 'extras' (my last c&p was short). My install was from early days of cenOS 9, perhaps before offical public image.
[root@cs9 ~]# rpm -qa | grep release | sort centos-stream-release-9.0-12.el9.noarch epel-next-release-9-2.el9.noarch epel-release-9-2.el9.noarch
-> $ rpm -qa | grep release | sort centos-stream-release-9.0-12.el9.noarch epel-next-release-9-2.el9.noarch epel-release-9-2.el9.noarch
[root@cs9 ~]# dnf repolist all | grep extras extras-common CentOS Stream 9 - Extras packages enabled extras-common-source CentOS Stream 9 - Extras packages - Source disabled
What would an "update" constitute? I do check for updates regularly and if there are any I get them, as of today 'dnf' tells me: I'm up to day, no updates. I think that as that error from my c&p, which I did not highlight, might matter here - some relic from that early days which did not, does not, get updated?
[root@cs9 ~]# dnf list "*release*" ... centos-release-gluster9.noarch 1.0-2.el9s extras-common centos-release-hyperscale.noarch 9-4.el9s extras-common ...
