Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[h(x1, x2, x3)] = 1 · x1 + 6 · x2 + 2 · x3 + 24
[a] = 15
[b] = 3
[i(x1)] = 16 · x1 + 0
[f(x1, x2)] = 15 · x1 + 1 · x2 + 0
[g(x1)] = 7 · x1 + 24
all of the following rules can be deleted.
g(a) h(a,b,a) (2)

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the Weighted Path Order with the following precedence and status
prec(i) = 1 status(i) = [1] list-extension(i) = Lex
prec(h) = 0 status(h) = [1, 3, 2] list-extension(h) = Lex
prec(g) = 0 status(g) = [1] list-extension(g) = Lex
prec(f) = 0 status(f) = [1, 2] list-extension(f) = Lex
and the following Max-polynomial interpretation
[i(x1)] = max(1, 2 + 1 · x1)
[h(x1, x2, x3)] = max(0, 3 + 1 · x1, 4 + 1 · x2, 1 + 1 · x3)
[g(x1)] = max(0, 1 + 1 · x1)
[f(x1, x2)] = max(0, 2 + 1 · x1, 0 + 1 · x2)
all of the following rules can be deleted.
f(x,y) x (1)
i(x) f(x,x) (3)
h(x,x,y) g(x) (4)

1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
