We use Ansible "to a point" in that it sets up what we consider to be our preferred server (Droplet) for a specific purpose, then we deploy projects on them and tweak non-Ansible managed project configs. It's not old-school scripts and it's not quite a one-liner to deploy everything. It's somewhere in the middle. So in reality, providing we have control over a customer's DNS or we use floating IPs, migrating to another major release isn't as time consuming as doing everything from scratch.

Off topic for sure, but it's a shame this has to be a manual process of destroying and rebuilding every X years. Even Microsoft has gone the Apple way and just perpetually updates Windows 10 now.
Do you use tools like ansible/chef? If you can put the time in,you can make your webservers rather distro agnostic. I would even put terraform on the table. It is not like your customers will know the difference.

We will need to (manually) migrate to Stream 9.x after 5 years instead of 10 though?
Yes. CentOS Stream has a lifecycle comparable with other LTS distributions.
