Considering there is entire year until "CentOS Linux 8" is EOL, and few years until "CentOS Linux 7" is eol, I agree there is no rush to switch. I will use next 12 months to test Springdale Linux (ex PUIAS Linux) and wait and see what comes out of "Rocky Linux" startup that has started today (they already have skeleton of the team assembled and are talking about infrastructure) and if both of those fail to work out, last few months of 2021 I will learn from colleagues about Debian. P.S. Do not expect money-grabing top of Red Hat to change "get-rich-fast" scheme, I don't... their funeral.
