Based on information presented: No.

VR headset? Software environment? VR runtime? How are you connected?
Check SteamVR support wizard https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/@help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGame/?appid=250820

Prior confirmed causes of stutter in the forums:
1) Resolution set too high

2) USB congestion from lighting apps like Asus Aura, Corsair iCUE, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, TT RGB Plus ( https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/250820/discussions/0/1752394429992325776/ )
2b) USB congestion from a webcam ( https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/250820/discussions/0/3723945543089828606/ )

3) GPU monitoring apps like Afterburner, Aorus Edge View (once a second one-frame stutter) ( https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/250820/discussions/2/3381662461615185982/?tscn=1662951659 ), also SteamVR's GPU monitoring ( https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/250820/discussions/2/4411920671411791425/?tscn=1719585881 )

3c) uninstall Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) ( https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/1635730/discussions/0/594019902544677364/?tscn=1744320641 )

4) NVMe drive stealing bandwidth from the GPU's PCIE bus (here's an archived link to this deleted thread https://web.archive.org/web/20221129043940/https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/discussions/forum/11/1815422173043032484/ )

same on my side

its laggy has tracking problems and sometimes the game launches fully but u are stuck on the SteamVR Screen

Problems are not caused by bad hardware or the quest 3 itself as in standalone no problems are visible and my hardware is way to overkill for the games I own for VR
