I would say quite a bit. Adding even a third body makes it impossible to calculate physics with certainty. A complex system with any number of individual components is hard to understand with certainty and/or calculations can become exponentially more complex .
The intent was to illustrate that complexities of a system of simple components can be pretty difficult. Automata theory has more appropriate examples perhaps.

Citing the fact that the 3 body problem doesn't always have an exact solution is a straw man argument.
