I have a K3 that has got the latest firmware (3.4.2), but I have never connected it to Wifi and the last manual update that I did was version 3.3 a few years ago.
The 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 updates were small (3.4.1 only 80 KB, 3.4.2 2.094 MB) so updating via 3G was perfectly plausible.

I think the possibility always existed but may have been a last resort.
