Yes, that should be possible.
But, I would first try the naked Void install with additional firmware. lspci and lsusb should point you to which manufaturer you're missing drivers for and you can install the additional firmware from the non-free Void repo, (you can add that manually to the repos, it doesn't come bundled with it). If that deosn't work, hey, you can always try repackaging 🤷. Just remember to remove the non-free firmware first, so it doesn't conict with the repackaged stuff from RH (yes, things like firmware packages or drivers can conflict with each other, especially since you're taking them from a repo xbps knows nothing about).
Yeah, just test it out on old x86 hardware, that's what I did at first as well.
