I can pair my Nikon D3400 with an iPhone in Nikon SnapBridge, but it only seems to let me download images. Can the D3400 use SnapBridge’s Remote Photography feature for remote shooting, or is that not supported on this camera?

No, it is not possible. The D3400 does not have wifi, which is required for Snapbridge-enabled cameras to be controlled by the remote smart device.
From Nikon Europe's product page for the D3400
The D3400 makes it spectacularly easy to shoot and share DSLR-quality images. Nikon’s SnapBridge¹ keeps the camera connected to your smart device via Bluetooth® so you can actually sync photos as you shoot.
...
¹ As the D3400 does not support Wi-Fi, the following SnapBridge features are not available: remote photography with a smart device, still image transfer in original size, movie transfer.
Aside: Interesting (rather, annoying) that I couldn't find the same clear information on Nikon USA's site.

No. The Nikon D3400 does not support SnapBridge Remote Photography from an iPhone.
The key limitation is that the D3400 does not have Wi‑Fi, and Nikon’s own documentation for this model states that, because Wi‑Fi is not supported, these SnapBridge features are unavailable: remote photography with a smart device, original-size still transfer, and movie transfer.
While newer SnapBridge versions added some Bluetooth-based remote control for certain cameras, that support does not extend to the D3400. So if SnapBridge on your iPhone only allows image download/sync, that is the expected behavior for this model.
In short: pairing and photo transfer are supported, but remote shooting is not.
