Yes, this is correct. This copr follows releases of 389ds that appear in
the latest stable Fedora version. We also have 389-directory-server-next
copr that follows Fedora Rawhide.
F37: 2.2.x
F38/Rawhide: 2.3.x
Once F38 becomes the new stable release, 2.3.x version will appear in
389-directory-server copr.

WebUI and is intended to be used as part of the idm module. But you
can install it anyway:
dnf module enable 389-ds:1.4
dnf install 389-ds-base

On RHEL8 I'd recommend using RHDS :)
On EL8 distros a good choice is whatever version is in 389-directory-server
copr, it's well tested and is very close to the latest RHDS version on
RHEL9.
