Yes.

I have a hundred or so CentOS desktops, ~10 webservers hosting many
virtual sites, an LDAP infrastructure, a couple of VM servers, a number
of large computational clusters, mail servers, mail relays, a Nextcloud
host and so on all running on CentOS of various flavours (but mostly 7
now) and ALL of them rock solid. I don't see any of these random
reboots because of systemd, it is just not something I recognise - the
uptimes are usually in the months to years region.

Look, CentOS is a RHEL clone, RH make money out of this and they aren't
going to produce an OS that is flaky. If they did, no one would use it.
