Not the part you were really asking about, but you did want any
thoughts, so I note that "customer" suggests that CentOS might be a
better choice then Fedora. You want to build him something that works
and is also stable.
RHEL and Clones are a nightmare. Here is a good example:
This one of mine and it was "ignored" by Red Hat:
7.2 not compatible with C236 and RSTe motherboard
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353423
Cost me over a U$D 1000 to figure it out.
Fedora is a Kaisen (constant improvement) OS. RHEL is an
Anti-Kaisen by design OS.
