iperf3 is not a newer version of iperf. It is a total re-write and a rather
different tool. It has significant improvements in many areas and new
capabilities that might be of use. That said, there is no reason to think
that the results of tests using iperf2 are in any way inaccurate. However,
it is entirely possible to get misleading results if options not properly
selected.
