No, because even if you install the older version, it will automatically update almost immediately.
I just updated to the newest version today (10/25/22), and the dropbox folder has disappeared from my desktop and is only available on cloud storage.Storing the Dropbox folder in CloudStorage is a new requirement from Apple; not Dropbox.

There was an update today (10/25/22) and after I did so, the dropbox folder on my desktop has been moved to a "secure" location, but I can't find it on my hard drive. I'm using a MacBook Pro and MacOS 12.6. NEVERMIND.
Found the solution in the link to the email that was send regarding this update:
If you had removed your Dropbox folder from Locations, it can be restored by following these steps:
- Open Finder.
- Click Finder in the menu bar.
- Open Preferences.
- Click the Sidebar tab.
- Under Locations, check Cloud Storage.
