Could be.
Then modern-day pitchers might have a chance to compete record-wise with the old time stars.
I don't think the 3-Ball 2-Strike Rule would drastically change any records and if it did, we have seen changes in records before.
They change in each era... every few decades... but the public and ballplayers would adjust to them... perhaps, a little begrudgingly.
I think the 3-Ball 2-Strike Rule would drastically speed up the game and make baseball a far more entertaining game and it wouldn't cause any critical changes in strategy or records.
