Here's a presentation at HEPiX'21 from CERN that's publicly available:
https://indico.cern.ch/event/995485/contributions/4256466/
My summary was much more succinct than the presentation and is partly my
own interpretation. The presentation lists a whole bunch of options and
basically says that they're sticking with something related to RHEL,
will decide later which one, and in the meanwhile we can use CentOS 8
until the end of this year or CentOS 8 stream.
