I might be an weirdo, but i actually prefer to have my taskbar icons combined, and with the fixes for previews that start 11 brings to the startmenu to my oddball taskbar setup (i have the taskbar on my 3rd (vertical) monitor on top, I'm mostly happy with windows 11.
One thing that is a lot worse in windows 11 though is that there is no visual indicator for multiple windows open unless you hower the taskbar icon. I would love for this to be rectified, and chances are I'm more likely to get a fix in start11 then anything from Microsoft in the forseable future :/
Hope you take my suggestion into consideration.
