IIRC RedHat6 and 7 has the 2.2 linux kernels.
Dosemu should work on those, but there may be
a few problems, mostly with the DPMI apps.
And apart from bugs and missing features, the
DPMI on 2.2 was IIRC very, very slow.
Additionally, IIRC RedHat7 had the broken gcc
that used to miscompile dosemu, but you can use
a binary distribution.
On RedHat8 it should work almost normally, but
the kernel upgrade is still recommended.

Older dosemus is a darkness. Unless your tasks
for it are really trivial and not mission-critical
(eg you can tolerate the frequent crashes, and
you don't afraid of a security holes), you almost
certainly don't want to have an older dosemu on any
of your machines.
