Though Red Hat (IBM) made the decision to change the way they deliver CentOS ("kill it" for some), there is (A) still over a year to go before this affects anyone, and (B) multiple options being worked on, such as Project Lenix or Rocky Linux. There is no need to rush to convert your CentOS 8 to Debian unless you really want to do it. Lenix will likely be free and will not require any reinstallation of your CentOS.
