At ~300 knots or ~mach 0.6 this would go down to 20 departures per hour.
Note that my math could be skewed because I don't know the actual climb out speed to expect (just had a quick look at FR24).
I am of the opinion that this only applies to Qatari-registered aircraft (aka Qatar Airways). I do not inerpret the NOTAM(s) as applying to international operators.
