Yes. A Pi3 has a much faster network, both wired and wireless. I use an older Pi2 as a "build box", both for "native" Pi and BBB/PB applications as well as cross-building for embeded MCUs (avr, arm M0, ESP32) and it is reasonable. Not lighting fast, but quite fast enough. I also run KiCAD (with my laptop as a remote screen using X11 tunneled through ssh) on it to design PCBs.
