Nathan,
So with Stream you'll be getting basically RHEL packages, after they
pass through QA and before it lands in actual RHEL.
In fact, it's only with CentOS that you know exactly what you are
getting. The clones will undoubtedly lag behind at various times, just
like old CentOS did.
However, this needn't be a problem, if all works as planned, you should
be able to use RockyLinux or any other clone's packages on CentOS
Stream, since they should be binary compatible.

the squishy nature of kernel releases, kvm/libvirt, etc. I don't think
it will be unusable, but it will be hard to say what is supported.
(E.g.
what version is "Centos 8 Stream"? Stuff can change out from under you
pretty quickly in that paradigm. Even rolling distros like Debian have
point releases.
