It can, yes, but the snap back should always be accompanied by feedback to allow the user to understand what happened.

There are pitfalls (what if the user thinks a setting saved and closes their browser, but it failed after they closed the tab?) which are addressable but it takes work and complexity. I think optimistic UI can be helpful. Generally speaking it’s a layer of complexity I’d tend to try to avoid, though.

Tools like Relay for graphql come with excellent implementations of this which I’d say are worth using if you’ve adopted the library, for example.
