Can't you keep using CentOS stream? Isn't it still a very stable distribution? Just slightly upstream of RHEL instead of downstream.
One downside of testing is that it isn't monitored by the Debian security team. Combined with the fact that updates are delayed compared to unstable, it can take many weeks to get important security updates.
I found that system76 is well priced compared to Windows brands. Avoid paying for the Windows license fee!
Metrics can be very valuable, the people who really care can just uncheck the box as part of the initial installation. I regularly submit crash reports which contain far more personal information. I think this is a good move.
