NodeRed?

Is NodeRED officially supported as an app, and can it be used as an alternative to Rule Machine?

No. You can run Node Red EXTERNALLY from the hub all you want connecting through websockets, etc... But it is not officially supported or endorsed by Hubitat in any way that I have ever seen.

Alrighty, i just have all my automation built in the from smartthings, and i did the same in Home assistant. just don't want to have to rebuild again :D, but i'm trying to find a hub/platform that is more stable

As @JasonJoel mentioned, it is not officially supported, but many users utilize NR via the log\event sockets. See these 2 threads for details.

I also set up a filter on the event socket and use a custom "Nodered" driver to trigger flows. I also use the Maker Api http endpoints when I need to send events back to the HE hub from NR. Works like a dream for me.

I was hoping someone more experienced with Node Red would chime in. :+1:
