It should, so long as you don't care about the newer kernel features.

https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#glibc-and-linux

    Starting with glibc 2.26, Linux kernel 3.2 or later is required. To
    avoid completely breaking the system, the preinst for libc6 performs
    a check. If this fails, it will abort the package installation,
    which will leave the upgrade unfinished. If the system is running
    a kernel older than 3.2, please update it before starting the
    distribution upgrade.

To the best of my knowledge, the Linux kernel 3.2 requirement is still
the same in bullseye as it was in buster.
