Well it's up to you. Many of the updates are updated packages so you don't need a reinstall, but there are some "paper cuts" which are fixed by tweaking the OS - e.g. the choice of default terminal, the apt-get fix, the better set of terminal colours...
On balance i would say there are no *major* changes 9.10->9.11 so I don't see that reinstall is needed, unless some of the things we fixed, are things that have been bugging you! But look in the release announcement, for the security issue mentioned - you can apply the fix described there if you aren't going to reinstall.
