I think DNF/RPM nowadays intercept SIGINT during file writing, but
signals are enabled when scriptlet execution starts, so you probably
still get a corrupted system when you hit ^C.

I don't think there are plans to use O_TMPFILE to prevent partial files
from showing up.  So if there is a system crash, partial files could
still be left behind even if RPM is not interrupted so easily anymore.

Thanks,
Florian
