Will bypassing TPM to install Win11 on Win 10 result in suboptimal performance optimization?

After installing Windows 11 on older devices by bypassing TPM restrictions, will the lack of official drivers result in inferior system compatibility or performance optimization compared to devices natively supporting Windows 11? Is it advisable to revert back to Windows 10?

    Windows 11 leverages hardware features like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for security and system integrity. Bypassing these may not directly impact raw CPU or GPU performance, but certain security features and hardware optimizations might be disabled or not fully functional.
