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.
