The differences between 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 are minimal to non-existent as far as VirtualBox is concerned. When it breaks, it's normally due to a kernel API change. I test the latest vanilla kernels and post a heads up so the developers have advanced notice. Where VirtualBox scores over the others is that the developers are swift to react.
