So, today I started a new attempt and was kind of successful by
modifying the GDAL 3.0.4 SPEC file for Centos 8, i.e. I have used the
official GDAL 3.0.4 SPEC file [1] and made the following changes:
- disabled JAVA and LaTeX support for EPEL8, due to (yet) missing dependencies

FWIW, this modified file I attached here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1741567

Best,
Markus
