Make sure an allocation of your frustration is pointed at this.

Gnome tweaks should be a default package. Is it not in an accessible repo for RHEL?

I just switched from Pop OS to Fedora 36 on my laptop and am getting the hang of pure GNOME 3 quickly. Other than Guale not working for some reason, Vivaldi and terminal and python run just fine. Hotkeys are abundant.

Agreed, but I have little control over IT policies. Third-party repos are strictly prohibited unless there is a compelling reason and they are blessed by IT.

Tweaks help, but it is still terrible compared to the customizations that GNOME 2 offered "in the box".

Tweaks shouldn't exist and it should all be in control centre

Agreed, really. Doing things like modifying system fonts should not be an obscure setting.
