Can models stay in reserve... strategic and otherwise past turn 3 now?

Not in matched play. They can be put INTO reserve and stay there last turn three, but if they start in reserves, they are destroyed last turn 3

The rules are in the mission packs for matched play.

As an example in the War Zone Nachmund book the limitation is on page 6 under "10. Declare reserves and transports".
