There never was a CentOS 7 appliance that was actually released for production.
There were a couple floated here years ago that were strictly experimental and
marked as such, but they all had various problems (which is why you generally
*don’t* want to be using them).

Part of it I suspect is in the nature of CentOS 7 itself — it is quite
different from 6 and 5, particularly in the realm of system administration due
to the advent of SystemD. FWIW, I've installed Rivendell on CentOS 7 using
this method hundreds of times — I’ve generally found it to work well. What
exactly does ‘picky about hardware configuration’ mean?
Cheers!
