You must update to 10 before updating to 11.

There is no general reason why you should not update to 11.

It is more usual for an upgrade to another operating system to
cut off access to Debian, than the other way around. It does not
happen often, and is always fixable.

Debian has good documentation on upgrades in the installation
manual.
