Not yet.  It will be updated to 4.3.3 (or 4.3.4) at some point this
week, but 4.3.3 has a known memory leak.

It won't always even exist.  It's temporary.

No, it is not a replacement for rawhide-nodebug.  It has nothing to do
with rawhide.

The email I just sent to Matthew has more details on why it exists and
why 4.3 is weird.

If people using Rawhide Workstation are hitting problems with the
rawhide kernel, they should report the bugs.  It is also a good idea to
keep at least one known good working kernel installed on a rawhide
machine, which is one of the main motivations for having 3 kernels
installed at a time anyway.  One could use this COPR to get a stable
kernel I guess, but it would involve manual installation if they're
already on 4.4-rcX because RPM would view the COPR builds as older.
