If s2 is successful, then there's no reason not to. However, the competition this season is at its peak: Attack on Titan s4, Promised Neverland s2, Doctor Stone s2, ReZero s2 of s2 (lol), so chances of underperforming or even average viewership are likely.
Even if we got confirmation for season 3, it would take a while for the last two arcs to be adapted totalling almost 100 chapters combined compared to the 49 chapters adapted in s1.

If you look at Beastars S2's numbers, its being one of the most successful animes right now.
It has entered the top 10 of Netflix Japan these last 3 weeks:

S2 trailer got 3+ million views in just a couple of months, most animes barely gets 1 million in some months or a whole year.
The full version of the opening already got 20+ million views and it has entered the top 5 of most Japanese music charts.
Honestly, the people who thinks that Beastars is "underrated" are only taking into account the anime community's reception. This is one of the few animes of recent years which has managed to be enjoyed even by non-anime watchers, mostly thanks to its animal thematic which reminds Western people of Disney's stuff, and thus this is a more appealing-looking series for them as opposed to most other animes which have the typical Japanese big-eyed anime style which is a turn off for most people (who don't watch anime).
Animes like Re:Zero, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dr Stone, etc might be huge in the anime community, but if you take them out of said community, nobody would watch them (specially in the West). Beastars has a more "mainstream" appeal to people who mostly consumes live-action Western series, which is why its numbers are so huge despite the reception among anime-fans being average.
I really hope a S3 gets announced next month at the end of the final episode, as stated above it has been doing great in official numbers on all streaming platforms, literally the only thing that worries me a bit is the manga being finished but other than that there isn't any other reason why they would stop here.
