Almalinux 8.8 was released yesterday, which is a significant update.
I would wait a few weeks to be on the safe side with updating the server.

Inside of these packets, i see "almalinux-release 8.7-3.el8 (baseos)" will Update to "8.8-1.el8 (baseos)"

That's the release file of the upgrade from AlmaLinux 8.7 to AlmaLinux 8.8.

It sets the current release version in this file:

# cat /etc/almalinux-release
AlmaLinux release 8.7 (Stone Smilodon)

Yes, i have 8.7 and as I see, I'll go to 8.8.

True, but you asked if it was safe to upgrade. I would wait a few weeks before doing this upgrade.
