Is it possible to have public rss feeds with Discourse without plugins?

How is this different than the URLs in your first link? These exist:

JuliaLang - Latest topics (https://discourse.julialang.org/latest.rss)
SWI-Prolog - Latest topics (https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/latest.rss)

An RSS feed of latest posts (and several other routes), is a core feature:

discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/views/posts/latest.rss.erb

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:discourse="http://www.discourse.org/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
  <channel>
    <% lang = SiteSetting.find_by_name('default_locale').try(:value) %>
    <% site_email = SiteSetting.find_by_name('contact_email').try(:value) %>
    <title><%= @title %></title>
    <link><%= @link %></link>
    <description><%= @description %></description>
    <% @posts.each do |post| %>
      <% next unless post.user %>
      <item>
        <title><%= post.topic.title %></title>
        <dc:creator><![CDATA[<%= "@#{post.user.username}#{" #{post.user.name}" if (post.user.name.present? && SiteSetting.enable_names?)}" -%>]]></dc:creator>
        <description><![CDATA[ <%= PrettyText.format_for_email(post.cooked, post).html_safe %> ]]></description>
        <link><%= cached_post_url(post, use_canonical: @use_canonical) %></link>
        <pubDate><%= post.created_at.rfc2822 %></pubDate>
        <guid isPermaLink="false"><%= Discourse.current_hostname %>-post-<%= post.id %></guid>
      </item>
    <% end %>
  </channel>
