Little late on posting this since it was released on the 06/13/23, but better late then never.
Key Highlights:
22.12.3 includes many new features and improved functionality that span new applications for deprecated services, change to SMB service, additional tools for troubleshooting, and web UI improvements. Changes include:
- New applications for deprecated SCALE services Dynamic DNS, TFTP, OpenVPN, WebDAV, rsync daemon, and S3 MinIO.
- Multichannel capabilities added to the SMB configuration form
- Updates to the Dashboard R50 image
- Updates to the latest Linux v5.15 kernel branch
- Update Samba to 4.17.8
This release fixes a bug with dataset encryption where it was possible to create an encrypted storage pool or dataset and unencrypted datasets within that pool or dataset. Beginning with 22.12.3, it is no longer possible to create an unencrypted dataset when the storage pool or dataset is created with encryption active. Datasets created in this manner are not affected by this fix. If the original intention was for the dataset to be encrypted, please migrate any data from the unencrypted dataset to a new encrypted dataset.
Important:
An issue was discovered with virtualization post-release. When virtual machines with PCI passthrough are deployed, delay upgrading to 22.12.3. For details and resolution notes, see NAS-122456.

No. Rsync is still available in 22.12.3, but since it's a depreciated service, you may want to look at alternatives for the future.
