Likewise. I gave up upgrading long ago, it's one of those "in theory"
things that often doesn't go according to plan. Long term installs
over the top often end up with conflicts, and a mess of increasing
things collecting over time.
It’s Fedora Server here. This is far less complex than, for example, Workstation, simply
because of the non-existent graphical interface.

I'd agree with that too, though it seems CentOS is moving themselves
out of that position. CentOS 7 lasts 'til mid-2024, CentOS 8 lasts
until the end of 2022, there won't be a CentOS9.
There are many reasons to prefer Fedora Server, e.g. additional and needed functions by
new versions of software (e.g. compare the functions of a standard software as postfix).
Even an old version of Fedora Server has newer versions as RHEL oder CentOS.
And Fedora Server has been reasonable stable for a long time.
