I do not like bleeding edge for most things, I use mate in CentOS because GNOME 3 is not to my liking, for example, and makes me feel like I am fighting the desktop instead of using the desktop. I do not know if LibreSSL will ever be part of Fedora or CentOS because FIPS support is not one of the goals of the projects, but FIPS didn't protect anyone from the several OpenSSL vulnerabilities that led to LibreSSL so FIPS is not a concern of mine, but it is a requirement for some places so I suspect it will be difficult for it to enter the Red Hat ecosystem. RHEL packages need to build against OpenSSL to have FIPS and so Fedora packages will continue to build against OpenSSL. Politics sucks.
