Not exactly. CentOS Stream is still a standard offering for them, and they've told me they are pretty happy with the stability and getting faster bug fixes. The problem is that too many third party vendors are refusing to keep their software compatible with CentOS Stream, so the environments that depend on those vendor's software must stay pinned to RHEL or a RHEL clone. It's unfortunate because if those vendors also targeted CentOS Stream they would be compatible with new RHEL minor releases on day 1, rather than forcing their users to pin to older minor versions while they play catch up.
