I maintain a bunch of EPYC VPSs running Ubuntu 20.04 on kernel 5.4.0-65-generic. Would these benefit from kernel 5.11 too, considering they're virtualized?

Why not use a purpose-built version of Linux like Ubuntu Studio?

Well Debian stable always uses the stable kernel, which is 5.10 for the bullseye release. They would still use it even if 5.11 would be released in time. However, you can always install newer kernels using buster/bullseye-backports once they are released.
I suspect that some of the 5.11 improvements did not make it into 5.10 because it is the stable release and some of the commits were more on the experimental side, see e.g. the shedutil regression + fix.
I think Debian is in pretty good shape for bullseye and we get the usual use cases
-> stable/bullseye: server
-> stable/bullseye+backports: workstation
-> testing: laptop/consumer

I'm not being facetious here. For the patient workstation builder, 2023 will see a (likely) end to shortages, a decent hardware jump in power/efficiency, and an entire release cycle testing kernel code for said hardware. Us debian users get more excited the more boring a release is.

Lol, that kind of logic makes my head hurt.... It's either boring and stable or new and exciting... You can't get excited over something boring... Can you?
aww jesus my head hurts too much thinking
