Can I just swap a later-gen, same-socket (Ryzen) CPU in and be OK?

So a few years ago I built some ryzentoshes — specifically using Ryzen 1700s & macOS 10.12.6. Got all the kexts working etc. and haven’t really messed around with anything since.

Now I’m looking to maybe upgrade to a Zen+ or Zen2 chip. In one machine I went from a 1700 -> 1800x and everything went peachy. Would the same be true going to a 2xxx or 3xxx processor? I’ve already flashed the BIOS to a compatible version with no ill effect.
