The question with Linux isn't if there's a need to update to the
latest version (of the distro) like on Windows, but rather what's keeping
you from updating? If there's no urgent reason to stick to 11, update. 11
is now oldstable and will become oldoldstable mid next year. Thus, it
currently becomes fewer updates - no idea how the situation is with
security updates compared to stable. 10 reaches end of life in about a
month or so. So that's the timetable you'll need to keep in mind.
Of course, right now there isn't anything forcing you to update, you merely
need to update within the next two years to keep getting updates. But
chances are very low with more conservative distros like Debian that
upgrading will have more drawbacks than benefits. Of course it can always
be a smart choice to wait for the first one or two dot releases, as they
will fix issues previously unnoticed or where the fix wasn't ready on time.
But that's all.
