Sorry for the late reporting, but Andrew is right, at least in this
particular case... because I downgraded from the master release to 4.3.0
without any problems (quite like Rowland suggested). No FSMO role
transfers or seizes, DC removals, metadata cleanups or anything complex
like that. No post-downgrade replication or dbcheck errors.

That is: Problem solved, and everything is nicely running 4.3.0 now. :)
Thanks for the team for comments & suggestions!
