I certainly wouldn't bet on it. Linux packaging systems in general are
not built for rollbacks (you can do it, but it's awkward) and major
GNOME version bumps may not be downgrade safe (config may be migrated to
a new format that doesn't work on the old version, or something).

I'd highly recommend using a disposable install, or a VM, or at least
doing a full backup/snapshot of some kind before trying 3.12.
