Fedora 39 Looks To Use DNF5 By Default For Better Performance & Improved User Experience

I'm not sure, I'm not a dnf developer. It was implemented in C++, so it would probably have to be done differently in version 4. I belive dnf development is focused on version 5 right now, so adding features to version 4 is probably not a high priority. It would be nice to see it in version 4 so it could be added to current versions of RHEL and Fedora, but time is a finite resource. Perhaps you could implement and send a pull request, or at least file a bug to discuss it upstream?
What do you think of DNF?

dnf uses python only for command line functionality. Its core part, libdnf, is written in C++. However yes, dnf in my experience is still significantly slower than apt and pacman.

Lots of people use python apps and not know about it. I don't get where the idea that it's complicated comes from. You run them the same way as everything else. For example if you use anything redhat-based you're running a python app (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf). If you're running any desktop environment, you're likely using at least one python app or something with python scripting embedded.
Interesting: DNF has recently gained "Vendor Pinning" almost like on Zypper/openSUSE

Fedora Package Management

Personally I just use the command line, or sometimes GNOME Software for GUI applications. However, there's this project called DNFDragora (https://github.com/manatools/dnfdragora) that seems to be what you're looking for, so if that is the only thing keeping you from switching, I don't think you should be too worried about it.
Curious about Fedora

Fedora has dnfdragora, but there is no way to add additional Copr repositories from within this UI. It will show your existing Copr repositories and let you enable, disable, and install packages from them, but not actually add new ones or explore all Copr repositories at once.

It varies by project, but dnfdragora is hosted on GitHub here: https://github.com/manatools/dnfdragora
