No.

It is perfectly fine to support both Mailman 2.1 and Mailman 3 on the
same server with the same domain(s). The process is install and test
Mailman 3 on the server with one or more test lists. After you are
convinced that Mailman 3 is OK, migrate the Mailman 2.1 lists.

I've attached `migrate_list` which is the bash script I used to migrate
this list and many other MM 2.1 lists to MM 3 on mail.python.org. It has
lots of mail.python.org specific stuff in it, but you should be able to
modify it for your environment.

The script does one list and it runs fairly quickly, so you can run it
without shutting anything down as long as it's at a time when there are
no posts to the list, and if you're concerned about arriving posts, you
can stop the MTA while running the migration.
