[CentOS] stream 8 or stream 9 for new server

I'm replacing my ancient desktop home server (CentOS 7, email, dns, backup) with a new mini-server.

I've been running stream 9 on the new toy for a couple of weeks and I find there are still a lot of incomplete or missing things. Enough to delay full implementation. Unless I do some workarounds or compile from source.

On the other hand I've read there will be no migration path from stream 8 to stream 9. It will require a complete reinstall.

Any guesses as to when the stream 9 repos (including epel) will be fairly complete? Just trying to decide whether to wait a bit or go with stream 8.
