currently only supported in Debian and Ubuntu, but cool to see BSD getting in on the action ahead of other players like Arch or Redhat! im very excited to see how this performs for things like a load balancer.
bigger concern is that VPP performance with vHost is limited by the Qemu vHost driver, so KVM might take some time to catch up here. Also cant seem to get any of the performance benchmark graphs and dashboards to load as of rn.
VPP dev here. Yes, we had support for OpenSuse and RHEL/CentOS in the past, but distro support vanished. We're a small team so we need to focus (note: for OpenSuse it's still maintained by a volunteer, just not in CI/CD), but we're open :)
FreeBSD fundation decided it was important for them and we're happy to help!

VPP is available in AUR and there is nothing stopping anyone from building and running it on RHEL or any other Linux distro. A former employer had a commercial deployment on a custom RHEL derivative.
