Windows 11 Multi-App Kiosk configuration is not entirely functional as of 24H2. In particular, the ability to pin apps to the taskbar (start menu pin works OK, just task bar is broken.) Additionally, we find erroneous pop ups from AppLocker due to 15+ default Microsoft Store apps attempting to update/install in the background. The documentation on how to solve this is insufficient, or maybe the functionality is truly missing/broken in its current state.
Here is the specific documentation we reference:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/assigned-access/configuration-file?pivots=windows-11
Here are other threads where people have similar struggles, and no one has a clear solution.

We too are undergoing the exact same issue, where Windows 11 Multi-App Kiosk config has hindered the user experience across all of our Kiosk devices. The Windows 10 experience was much more user friendly, and the setup was dramatically more fleshed out via the documentation.
Can we get some confirmation of Taskbar pinning capabilities in the works?
