Yes, we should also be afraid of deepfake. With GPT-3, the issue isn't so much being able to impersonate somebody, but the ability to generate human-seeming text at scale. This allows you to create a false perception of public sentiment by maintaining fake accounts on online forums, writing fake letters to the editor, to politicians, and so on. On the flip side, this is already possible today with content farms, and perhaps GPT-3 can save us by being the thing that finally erodes our trust in these signals. One thing is sure though, it drives yet another arms race, and arms races are always a net loss for society.
