The 3GS has a hugely improved processor (sort of like the difference between a 486 and a Pentium), so it's unlikely that it, at least, doesn't have the power to decode full AAC+.

Furthermore, even on the older iPhone 3G, you can listen to an AAC+ stream (with SBR) while doing other things on the phone; streaming audio in Safari is treated like the iTunes app where you can minimize it while the music plays. While doing this, there isn't any noticeable degradation in performance in other apps, indicating that even on the 3G there is performance to spare.
