Some questions about Gnome Boxes
Like already mentioned, Gnome Boxes derives its list of known OS from a library called osinfo. You can check the osinfo data for all catalogued systems, which Gnome Boxes also uses as reference for their recommended downloads.

What will I be missing if I use silverblue?
All I'm missing is great IDE support because most don't support flatpak well, but it's still usable. No idea what you need for data science as I don't do it, but everything else you mentioned works great (except for Windows 11 VMs because the libosinfo merge request that is required hasn't been merged yet (link), so GNOME Boxes doesn't create a VM with UEFI support. Win10 works though)

AlmaLinux and Foreman + Katello
libosinfo (used by libvirt/KVM for example): a fix has been added by Andrew Lukoshko, see https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/merge_requests/285 which basically boils down the the file /usr/share/osinfo/os/almalinux.org/almalinux-8.xml provided by the RPM osinfo-db (of AlmaLinux 8.3). If this meta information is missing in your KVM hypervisor (for example if you install an AlamLinux VM on a CentOS hypervisor just now) and you did not specify --os-variant rhel8.3 for example when using virt-install when installing an AlmaLinux VM, you might miss certain optimization because only very generic virtualization settings get applied in case of an undetected operating system.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nordvpn-client and osinfo-db you can also consider the following projects:
flatpak - Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework
facter - Collect and display system facts
flathub - Issue tracker and new submissions
