No. And mwrank does not say that the 2-Selmer rank is 3, it says that it is 5. But 2 of that comes from the torsion so the Selmer group gives an upper bound for the rank of 3. Now parity implies that the rank is odd, so in fact the rank must be 3 but the 3rd generator was not found. It is possible that increasing the search bound with -b will succeed (the default is 10) but not guaranteed, and adding 1 to that bound will multiply the running time by a constant.
