We may be in a kind of quandary here. Fedora switched to systemd-resolved for DNS
and dismissed NetworkManager. According to various posts, this led to misconfiguration

NetworkManager wasn't dismissed. ;) It's still the primary way to
configure networking in lots of media. The NM dns plugin can and does
talk just fine to systemd-resolved. The only issues I have heard of are
misconfiguration on the user end or problems upgrading a system that
used something else before. :)
But a lot of packages have NetworkManager as a dependency. In this
respect, NetworkManager cannot be replaced so easily.
The installer (anaconda) needs it, but you don't have to have anaconda
still on an installed machine, you could remove it.
In any case, I personally would be fine sticking with NM, but I know
others may disagree.
And I've pulled the conversation from high level to details...
sorry about that.
