That is not the issue. There are many problems that do not have analytical solutions, but can be approximated numerically to any precision you would like.
The issue with the three-body problem is that it is chaotic, meaning any error will eventually grow to take over the entire solution, making prediction impossible, even in theory. Every chaotic system lacks an analytical solution, but not every system without an analytical solution is chaotic.
