RHAS is more-or-less RHL 7.2, and in my ignorance I think it the likely
source for most RHL 7.3 fixes over time. It's the first place I would
look. If the transition is likely to work, it should do so with a
minimum of fuss and bother - binaries are compatible, for example, and
might not even require a reboot (except maybe to change kernels).
The tactic I used on 7.3 boxes was to simply use upgrades from CentOS
2.1. Here and there it required manual tweaks, but more or less it
worked very nice. All my 7.3 boxes used to run kernels, openssl, apache
and more or less everything else important from 2.1. If your servers
followed "minimal install" route, this option might work nicely for you.
Just subscribe to Red Hat's enterprise watch list, and install updated
packages as updates are released. Needs some manual maintenance but at
least you don't need to go through full update process.
Your experience is about what I expected.
Note re watch list; I'm on it, it's a little noisy (covers all
releases), but doesn't have all updates. The only way I know to find all
updates (short of having a real RHN account) is to watch the source ftp
directory, and even that's not always up2date ) discovered.
