I'm not sure this is a good idea.
According to https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/whats-epel-and-how-do-i-use-it
```
EPEL is a selection of packages from Fedora, but only packages that are not
in RHEL or its layered products to avoid conflicts.
```

And RHIVOS is a layered product so having stuff in EPEL may end up with
conflicts later on.
We had similar issues with mom
<https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=12742> and vdsm
<https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=12944> packages
which were also shipped in Red Hat Virtualization (downstream of oVirt
project) in the past and we had to drop them from EPEL to solve issues.
I would rather avoid AutoSD collisions with EPEL if possible.
