For the usual SRU policy [1] it is unlikely and would require a lot of exceptions and checks to take the full 3.1.2.
You'd really have to show that it is not working at all. Otherwise usually only individual fixes are backported. The other issue you mentioned is already tracked on it's own so I won't consider that for the xenial task here for it.

The --backup-dir option in 3.1.1 doesn't work properly - it creates empty directories even when no files need to be put in them.
