Building anything recent is probably not going to work as there are lots of breaking changes in Python. You need at least python 3.6 to build Honister. It took me about a month to get Hardknott to build on top of Rocko host. I would say it is more or less a no-go to cross the 3.0 Yocto boundary. Rocko is roughly equivalent to 16.04LTS distro.
