Does centrism even have a philosophy?

it depends on what you mean by "centrism". if you just mean whatever politicians and policies are least controversial at a given point of time, of course not; what is controversial changes through the ages. if you mean consciously going out of your way to pursue this middle ground and occupy it, it's actually a bit fascistic; you're essentially denying there being an objective best set of policies and instead advocating whatever works. most political ideologies besides fascism are built around notions of "morality" and "rights", so such a centrism and pragmatism is in some ways fascist.

what you also have to keep in mind is that the idea of a "center" is somewhat presumptuous. i'd argue both globalism and nationalism are by their natures "centrist" ideologies in that they don't really necessarily care who's making the money, but those two ideologies are opposite of each other. now, I think you're a fucking idiot if you're a right-wing nationalist, but they exist for some reason, so whatever.

>whatever works
define what works and you inevitably have a centrist ideology
