Yes, absolutely. Although the neck issue is mostly solved by a 3/4 recumbent (which is what I used), where you are not completely flat.

A potentially worse problem is that recumbents allow enormous force to be applied through the legs (because you can push against the lower back, as in rowing). This is one of their superpowers but you need to be aware of it to avoid knee issues.

Yep, i switched to a under seat steering recumbent to avoid any pressure on my (startup workload damaged) wrists. I almost immediately hurt my knees because it was so fun to go really fast by pushing against the seat back.
