what about branching future release those 2-3 weeks ago and keep master for
active development?

Stabilizing the master branch is active development as this allows to have
stronger fundation for the next features you can introduce 2 or 3 weeks after the stabilization weeks starts.

I know it could lower number of people using this future release branch
during testing period before release, but still seems better then pushing 3
weeks of commits from my local branch as soon as release is branched and
master open for new recipes again.

That's the way linux, u-boot & co are running and when the new merge window
opens several thousand of patches can be merged in a few days.

If we don't do that, the idea of stable release which implies detecting and fixing potential failures introduced by previous big changes will fail.
