Gender does change things, and it should change things because the characters do not live in a society where different genders are treated exactly the same (for a lot of canons, anyway), but also, we, the audience, do not live in a society where different genders are treated exactly the same. So not only should the gender-changed character have differences due to how they have been treated, but the audience will view that character with a different perspective than the original.

Anyway, if the gender of a character is changed, the writer should put in some work for the character background because not all of their experiences will have been the same - for Antonia Stark (or Natasha Stark for Earth 3490), I would expect something about resentment from men competing with her academically, I think there would be more hesitation bringing her to an active war zone, I would expect there to be different expectations of might have happened in the cave, etc. Not everything needs to be covered, but enough to give the reader some foundation for their personality.

I absolutely agree with gender changing things. And it changes our perspective. For example my favourite male and female characters are usually quite different.
