he was in a magical fusion body in a chamber where time flowed differently. I guarantee you gotenks does not get ssj3 training in the living world. It's the reason why fusion ran out quickly because the form drains to much chi and not sustainable in a fusion or a live body.
But being magical has nothing to do with being dead or in the afterlife. There're two different things. And the Hypobolic Time Chamber is in the living world. It's just a different dimension. Just like Hit is still in the living world when he goes into his pocket dimension.
Super Saiyan 3 is draining period, alive or dead.

the writing on super is trash. either AT has gone senile, or he doesn't care about the continuity of Z. He has changed a lot of the aspects of Super that retcon Z and it has made super suffer for doing that. If U6 saiyans get ssj3 after not even know what ssj was a month ago it will show how badly AT has forgotten about Z or he's trying to power them up as quickly as possibly which makes the story seem rushed and awful. the god honest truth it U6 should be weaker than base namek goku as they never had the power to get to ssj or even knew what it was. I'd rather seem them have unique transformations not into ssjs but into another form to combat thr U7 warriors.
Nothing was retcon since Z never claimed Super Saiyan 3 was a special form that you needed to be dead to gain. Only that it's draining and best maintained by a dead body.
And why would the U6 Saiyans only be Namek Saga Goku's level when you don't know what they've been through and they have evolved differently to the point of not having tails. They also never got Super Saiyan because they didn't know it even existed, not because they didn't know about it.
Toriyama is not senile and Super isn't badly written because it doesn't follow your headcanon.
