Yes, that will do it.  This is exactly the use case we have been
working to make perform well since Samba 4.5, with Samba 4.7 having the
best behaviour so far.

Adding another 4.4 DC will cause catastrophic
outages and is not recommended as the worst issues are in the
replication engine. 

Just schedule an outage, upgrade to 4.7 by joining that to the domain,
then transfer the roles and then add your second DC (which is otherwise
always recommended).

I understand you feel unable to commit to the upgrade, but there is no
workaround now you have the extra group memberships
