Yes, that's exactly how RPM works. it's supposed to be a last resort if options like distrobox or homebrew can't deliver what you need. It can break stuff if you are not careful.

Anyway, then I'd definitely go with silverblue.

For what it's worth, I've never had an RPM install break anything on Silverblue, and I fuck with it mercilessly at times.
