CentOS 9 stream is a rolling release distro. Stuff in c9s has had automated QA done, but it is by no means as reliable as the RHEL-9.0 GA release should eventually be, as its just a snapshot in time of unreleased distro content. I know openstack upstream CI integration has been hit by regressions appearing in c9s. One example was hotplug completely breaking recently due to the QEMU -device JSON bug. Of course this very CI for libvirt would identify that particular bug, but we're vulnerable to bugs in the rest of the distro still while its under development.
