Absolutely. Strap in for some weird shit and be prepared for a lot of loose ends and long stretches of nothing very consequential actually occuring in Twin Peaks itself.
I think there is a lot to the theory that Twin Peaks is split into two parts, Lynch's vision in the original 90s material with the major exception being that he didn't want Laura Palmer's murder to be solved, and Season 3 is partially him trolling the audience as well as progressing the story a little not through the expected Dale Cooper vs Bob final showdown route or anything like that people might expect but through symbolism that is just teaching you a lens to see the 90s material and more broadly teaching you a bit more about Lynch's worldview.
 
Make sure to watch the movie and try to watch Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces as well if you can find it.
There's that cool fanedit that puts the 'missing peices' back into FWWM, it's not hard to find unlike a lot of fanedits and I highly recommend it...the best one is the Q2 edit imo, try and get that.

Done a bit of research and it seems like most people prefer the Blue Rose edit over the Q2 these days and there's a copy on the archive, it doesn't include every single cut scene and apparently makes an effort to make a more flowing film.

Was planning on re-watching Twin Peaks soon, originally watched it around 2010.

Is the 3rd season worth watching? Don't remember hearing much about it when it was releasing.

It's top tier television. It's a great combo of drama, speculative, Lynchian mindfuckery and Lynch trolling you for wanting a third season of a '90s TV show that got canceled.
 
Season 3 is a masterpiece, and the last substantial work Lynch did...a tour de force by Kyle MacLachlan as he plays two (three?) contrasting roles.
I could count maybe five

  1. Dale Classic
  2. Evil Dale
  3. Amnesiac Dale as "Dougie"
  4. Actual Dougie
  5. Last episode Serious Dale

It's my favorite thing he did. One of its biggest trolls is that now even the most retarded parts of the original run are now required viewing. But I kinda like the crappy parts too, so, not even mad.

The man sweeping in the Roadhouse for 10 minutes is one of my favorite gags.
 
So is he ending up in the white lodge or the black lodge?
Hopefully he haunts people who watch movies on their ffffffucking telephones.

I liked the part where Horn had to perform alt-history Confederate victory fanfiction to regain his sanity.
