This may be a function of packages available on the underlying EL distributions
used as the base for package builds. I believe that there may be an RPM in
EPEL, but I personally am hesitant to rely on EPEL for anything. Installation
via pip3 should work. I'll forward this to someone involved in releases /
builds.
ceph.spec.in has
%package mgr
Summary: Ceph Manager Daemon
%if 0%{?suse_version}
Group: System/Filesystems
%endif
Requires: ceph-base = %{_epoch_prefix}%{version}-%{release}
Requires: ceph-mgr-modules-core = %{_epoch_prefix}%{version}-%{release}
Requires: libcephsqlite = %{_epoch_prefix}%{version}-%{release}
%if 0%{?weak_deps}
Recommends: ceph-mgr-dashboard = %{_epoch_prefix}%{version}-%{release}
Recommends: ceph-mgr-diskprediction-local =
%{_epoch_prefix}%{version}-%{release}
Recommends: ceph-mgr-k8sevents = %{_epoch_prefix}%{version}-%{release}
Recommends: ceph-mgr-cephadm = %{_epoch_prefix}%{version}-%{release}
Recommends: python%{python3_pkgversion}-influxdb
%endif
I see an RPM package in EPEL9 but not EPEL10, so I suspect that's the root
cause. I suspect that 18.2.7 might still work but do not have the wherewithal
to test. The EPEL 9 RPM may well have been outdated.
Possibly the build just needs to install via pip3. I'll see what I can do.

I do not believe so, though the cool kids skate Prometheus ;)

See above. Oversights for soft dependencies on rarely-used bits can happen.
