For the Jews under law dispensation, an animal can be very costly, in terms of costs. Imagine every time u sin, u have to bring a new animal.
And as David realized after his adultery, even such blood sacrifices pale in comparison with Jesus act on the cross, because they could not result in no imputation of sin. He envied us on the grace dispensation because of this, as romans 4 indicated.
So my answer is no, there is a lot of difference between that Christ did for us, and what animal sacrifices could do.

They wouldn't just NOT do it because it wasn't as good as Christ.
They had to have faith in the Blood of their Sacrifice the same as we have faith in the Blood of the Lamb.
If we didn't have Christ would we NOT sacrifice animals and place their blood upon the altar to atone for our sins?
I am a big proponent of Salvation by Grace through Faith and NOT of works but I would be sacrificing animals all over the place if it weren't for Christ.
