The trade off of modules, which it pays to be aware of, is that they have different support lifecycles to the distro they are in. They publish a list that is updates as new modules are released.[1] what this means in practice is that some appstream modules may only have a year or two of support, while other may have until distribution release EOL. For example, in RHEL 8 PHP 7.4 is supported until 2029, almost 9 years after released as a module, but earlier 7.x versions and 8.0 which are also modules have lifecycles that range from 18-24 months.

There's a lot of flexibility in this to support both those that need newer versions of things as well as older stable versions, just be aware and choose and plan accordingly.
