There's that dnf swap command which is supposed to take care of
replacing one package with the other. It ought to avoid the system
wanting to remove Gnome.
e.g. dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire (or something very much like that).
Considering pulseaudio is being deprecated, maybe you should try seeing
if pipewire works better for you.
I tried replacing pipewire with pulseaudio by issuing "sudo dnf swap
pipewire pulseaudio" but that failed because package "mutter" requires
pipewire, I have no idea what that is, and mutter can't be uninstalled
because it wants to uninstall "gnome-shell" which is not allowed.
