big no. once u get used to the bezel-less design of the new iPhones, you won't be able to go back to the outdated design of iPhone 8 (iPhone SE gen 2).
I went from an 11 to an SE 2 with no problem at all. I Just didn't care for faceID. I work in clinical healthcare and wear a mask 40-60 a week, every week, and have for years. It was just a nuisance.
I like the smaller size, too.
