It's also probably more rugged than the R3, and it's a bit smaller, I think. It's also newer and will last longer. It's features are such, I would choose the R6, except maybe in the situation you mention. I would probably be glad to use an R3 in dangerous situations. You won't find any advantage in use, except maybe a bit more precise in auto exposures, because its shutter is electronic. I would say own both, and risk the R3. Best of both worlds. If you can afford the R6, you can probably afford the R3 and the R6 (especially a used one.)
