I think it could be if they add other things. Let's keep in mind that BBC Sherlock focused even more than usual on its characters during S3. If they use the plot of TBC as a main plot but surround it with character development (we do have things to deal with), maybe connect it with that strange case Lestrade was solving which seemed to be introduced for no reason at all beyond introducing references to the books and deal with the cliffhanger without introducing too much, just enough to keep us on our toes until S4, I see no reason why it could not work.
By itself, it seems a bit poor for a 90-minute special, but as a tie between other things, I find it solid and not distracting.
