I have found Win11 almost as usable as Win7 with none of the troubles
you see. Main advantage for me is that Win11 understands E & P cores.

Economy cores (E) are good for general stuff working at human data rates
and much lower power whereas Performance cores (P) are good at running
flat out but power hungry. Win11 is the first version that properly
allocates heavy CPU bound tasks consistently to the right sort of core!

 My new monster Win 11 tower, with a gigantic heavy GPU and terabytes
of SSD and 16G ram, only runs LT Spice about twice as fast as my old
laptop. I was disappointed... I was hoping for 10x or so.
 Spice is the only thing I do that needs a lot of compute power.

Trouble with solving huge non-linear matrix problems is that they don't parallelise at all well. You could well be better off with whichever of the current CPU crop has the fastest single threaded performance.
Provided that it is only for scratch working it is still worth at least considering using the dangerous for risk of data loss RAID0 in a matched pair configuration to nearly double effective disk bandwidth. There is much less advantage doing this trick now than their used to be.
Obviously data is toast if anything goes wrong so don't store important results on it long term. I no longer bother but it might help you.
