It's not going to work sorry, there are other ways to root w/o unlocking the bootloader.
The Z3 has no known way to root unless you unlock your bootloader
It is also well known that unlocking the bootloader will delete the DRM keys and this is because by gaining access to the root you could therefor gain access to copyrighted coding, Hence why this info is auto deleted
@Thommo I stand corrected, I should've said, to keep on eye on the XDA forum for any new ways to root the phone w/o unlocking the bootlaoder

Certain pre-loaded content on your device may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys. For high-end devices running recent software versions, for instance Xperia Z3, the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected. The secure user data partition may also become inaccessible, and you will not be able to get any more official software upgrades if you unlock the boot loader.
Sorry but this is my opinion that you have forsaken yourself as you say - You had all features working and then you chose to ignore the warning on Sony's site when you ticked the box to accept the terms when requesting your unique unlock key so you only have yourself to blame by unlocking your bootloader
