RHEL should be working fine -- we build Rocky Linux images in DIB and they're used in several projects including OSA and Kolla and I maintain them (by defacto ownership).
Its worth noting that (especially in an openstack context), Stream 9 and RHEL 9 are not guaranteed to be compatible. It's for this reason I maintain RHEL-compatible rebuilds for open switch and ovn (and probably more in the future).
Im always welcoming more contributions to this space. For example I know there is also a change to support AlmaLinux nodes in DIB.

Hi Junya,
The comment on IPA-builder means that the corresponding CI jobs are not
voting, and we may remove the support if it gets broken and we cannot
fix it easily.
DIB itself may support more operating systems than IPA-builder since the
latter is built on top of the former. Since we support Stream 9, chances
are high that RHEL 9 also works. We cannot test that in the upstream CI
though, so we cannot commit to it.
We will support more operating systems if there are people willing to
maintain their support long term.
I hope that helps.
