Even if version 7 of CentOS is supported through 2024, you are almost not getting any oVirt based update since June last year when the latest version of oVirt 4.3.x (4.3.10) has been released. RH EL for its 7.x version updates doesn't necessarily track incompatibilities with oVirt packages. So in my opinion iit s also risky to remain with a frozen 4.3 oVirt installation and to go with os overall updates for 3 years I would identify the reasons not allowing to pass to 4.4 and solve them in the meantime. YMMV
