>it's a bit less work than more interpolated animations
That's the trap literally everyone falls when they start doing this shit. Everyone thinks that "Oh it's my style so i'll just keep it stepped", without thinking about the fact that your animation, while being stepped, still has to be fluid AKA have great key poses, as many of them as possible and great timing, and by the pont you have so many good keys with perfect timing you have pretty much made a splined animation frame-by-frame. If you just put a few keys and step between them it will just look choppy and amateurish.
>It works for 2D
It works for 2D because your brain registers 2D as 2D. If 3D somehow manages to actually properly imitate 2D drawings (Imperfections, perspective deformation, no interpolation ANYWHERE, etc) it would work, but i've seen about 3 good examples of it total despite it being a fad for years and those all had to have extensive case-by-case fuckery outside of animation itself to make it look coherent and believeable like this webm (And guilty gear wasn't one of them, even though XRD came close before Strive went to shit with it). There's a 90% chance something will fuck up during gameplay, be it camera movement around the model or an animation of a character that will give the uncanny valley of a style impression and ruin the idea if you go for 2D look, and in non-stylized look it will just look as if you forgot to spline your shit.

Funnily enough, it doesn't translate to sprites. I have no fucking idea why, but rendering the sprites and using them like in your pic instead of stepping 3D models just registers in the brain as "It's a sprite so it has to be like that", so that might be a better option in your case.
