nix and habitat are alternative ways to bring user-space additions outside of a distro's package management in a repeatable manner. Otherwise, one has to make their own packages and run their own CI/CD package builders. I did this for Erlang, Elixir, and rebar3 since the corporate consultants who ran a YUM repo appeared to have stopped providing such for CentOS 9 stream. I think it's less painful to either standardize on 1 OS and add custom RPM/DEB packages, or ignore what the OS provides and vendor all user-space dependencies to an isolated stable path with a different packaging/build system.
