If you want to keep as close to scientific linux as possible, I would suggest Alma or Rocky Linux. Those were the two options my group considered when the writing was on the wall for scientific linux and we were ramping up our workstations. We ended up going with Alma, but I'm not sure it is any better than Rocky. We'll have to wait and see how much they diverge over time.
If you are ok with moving to something more different, Ubuntu or one of its derivations would probably do just fine.
