Actually there is, the RPM packages for MongoDB are "breaking". You can't auto-update with them without bringing your forum down. Several updates in the last two years were not just breaking, but very breaking. Fedora RPM for NodeJS is acceptable, but would put you several versions behind typically. For MongoDB, it would put you behind with updates while creating a risk that a seemingly trivial update to the OS would be expected to totally hose the database (3.4 to 3.6 to 4.0 are all updates that have to be manually handled for MongoDB with the actual data being massaged to handle it, but the OS just changes the engine version and lets the data stop working.) Its probably be best to start using the MongoDB repo instead of using RHEL and Fedora repo, with the news about them planning on removing MongoDB from their repo. I do that anyway. MongoDB is very good about their repos. You do the same with nodejs on Fedora too? There are lots of ways to do it, but I like this model for control. NVM is good, too.

@mikah67 Glad that it is working! As a general rule, just do a yum -y update before starting an installation to make sure you are fully updated, regardless of which CentOS 7 version you started with.

Not sure, and I'm not going to power up the old system to find out. New one is running fine. If I ever run in to a situation like that again, there are a lot more checks I would do.

Just confirmed this works on Ubuntu as well. I imagine that means Mint would also work, but have not confirmed Mint yet, and probably will not as the only installs of that I have are workstations that don't require quite the same level of monitoring.
