We don’t run anything on bare metal anymore it’s all containers (90k employee very large enterprise).
Of course I can’t speak for all the teams, but all new projects are going out on kubernetes and we don’t care about rhel at all, typically it’s alpine it Debian base images

Talos Linux. Replaced a fleet of RHEL OpenShift with Talos recently. We're planning on moving the rest to Talos within 1.5 years. Basically, bare metal OS is going to be an implementation detail abstracted away from the internal users and developers.
