Power failing during an update/install is not good.

There may be many other configuration glitches.  Even if there are
only a few issues left by the power failure, you can't know if the next
problem is due to a bug in the software or a side-effect of the power
failure.

It is far better if you can be confident that your system is properly
configured, which could require a full install.  Debian's package
manager does have a "configuration still needed" status for packages
that were installed by didn't complete post-install configuration.  Maybe
a dnf guru knows of something similar for Fedora.
