The same page in the documentation says that the required kernel version is 4.16, so you are free to find any distro that provides a >4.16 kernel and try that, or perhaps install a newer kernel on an existing distro. As for pre-releases of CentOS, I have no idea, I don't follow their release process that closely.

If you're having success with iSCSI on a particular distribution, then by all means open a pull request to record that on the requirements page.
