No because in 3 cylinder engines, the pistons are not 180 degrees apart. If they were, then a big middle cylinder could in theory maybe balance it but then it would introduce other problems.
But in reality the 3 pistons are 120 degrees apart each and therefore the only way to balance them is to use balancing shafts.

Or you could do what Triumph did and just YOLO into the situation and say it has character because of the imbalance: https://www.cycleworld.com/story/bikes/triumphs-new-t-plane-firing-order-explained/
