It’s a great distro, and there’s a plan to have a Template with it in Qubes. However I’m not sure which threats you expect in dom0, where this distro would help. Could you name them?

It isn’t only for dom0. You’re right that dom0 is unlikely to be compromised except

I would say the biggest threat would be a supply chain attack on Fedora.

But mainly it would be for the VM security, because these VMs are network

facing.
