I didn't mean to suggest we switch to 11 as a minimum now, rather I meant to say "If the next supported version will be 11 (whenever it's stable enough), does it make sense to stop testing 9 and 10 now?".
A better question would have been "do we ever expect to have Java 9 or 10 as the minimum stable version? If not should we stop testing with them?" Up to you of course.
