I don't think you have too much to worry about. I think by now all the niggles that people had with Win 11 have been fixed by Microsoft. I am on the beta release team and I see new versions coming in thick and fast.
All the drivers I was using on Win 10 have carried over to Win 11 with no problems. I can still run an ancient M-Audio Delta 1010 with drivers meant for Windows 7 - still works. The only problem is that the Delta internal interface needs a PCI slot and that means a PC that is not readily Win 11 compliant (Too old amongst other things). Using other methods to bypass the MS requirements I did install Win 11 on this machine and both the computer and the Delta card worked well. The motherboard actually gave up which now turns a good audio interface into an antique item for my shelf cos no computers have PCI anymore.
Like you I do use computers live and Win 11 has worked fine on my newer computers like my Surface Pro which can play VSTi's live if I wish. I would not use a computer like the old one mentioned above for reliability reasons.
