Considering that CentOS 8.5 will never be, a year from now (6 month only?) you will not have this issue, as Baron said, with new packages coming to Stream the issue will go away naturally unless you want to move from RHEL to CentOS

And I do not think this is a unique/strange/corner case. I agree it's probably not the most common one.
