it work properly if the Master Key isn't on my machine?

It should.

Note, however, that Riseup's Best Practices [1] and proposed configuration file [2] are partially obsolete, *especially* if you are using GnuPG 2.1. Many of the proposed options and advices are not needed anymore, as GnuPG already does The Right Thing.


And the following faults are coming:
 gpg: keyserver option 'ca-cert-file' is obsolete; please use
'hkp-cacert' in dirmngr.conf

If you're using the sks-keyservers.net pool you no longer need to provide GnuPG with the CA certificate file, as it is now bundled with GnuPG (>= 2.1.11) and automatically used when needed. (And with GnuPG >= 2.1.16 you will no longer even need to explicity set the keyserver option, as hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net is already the default.)


gpg: keyserver option 'no-try-dns-srv' is unknown

This option no longer exists, but I *think* that if you really want to, you can disable SRV lookups by explicitly specifying a port number when setting the keyserver, as in:

  keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net:443
