Definitely. Expanded is really only useful for two things,

1.) Real mode Windows
2.) Very old 2.x applications that need it.

Since Windows 3.1 doesn't support real mode anymore, that is not an issue.
Most applications have been updated by now to 3.x, so there is usually
no longer a need for expanded memory.
