It is still considered in testing however, so if you're comfortable with reporting issues/bugreports then by all means.
Testing while in this stage helps to identify issues and get them resolved. DNF5 is a large complicated system, so
while the developers try their best to resolve all the issues, there are some that may be missed.
I've been using DNF5 is F39.

I have been using DNF5 for a while. Pretty sure in 39 I just installed from the default repos, no Copr involved. It is fast (certainly compared to DNF4) and I have had no issues. I am by no means a DNF power-user, so there is that. But have been happy with it. Also, a previous DNF5 article had a video link posted somewhere with the DNF5 devs talking about it, its architecture, etc. and made sense to me to just move on.
I figured out how to do a clean install of Fedora installing systemd-boot vs. Grub using the "inst.sdboot" boot parameter (got broken in 40, but read fix was exempted to land on the final release ISO.) Now I am looking to understand Kickstarter files better, where I should be able to define my file system layout and force Btrfs on a minimal install (where otherwise it defaults to LVM+XFS vs. what it does for the Workstation install.)
I like Arch as well for this minimal stuff, but the development things I want to do (nothing hard core, but non the less) most likely could fall on RHEL infrastructure. Fedora just makes a lot of sense for this. Good times indeed!

does fedora, in their standard workstation version, offer easy rollbacks from grub on the btrfs filesystem? something like opensuse and ubuntu have (that last one on openzfs)? does it work with the dnf5, ie does it creates snapshots automatically (and, ideally, makes them available in grub)?
