As far as I've read any modern PC (last few years) will be Windows 11 ready so I wouldn't worry about it personally.

I read yesterday that there are many people being told they're not compatible with modern systems but that the issue is with something called TPM. Apparently this is something you can turn on or off I'm the bios and many times it comes off as default, so ask them to try that!

Nobody should be in a hurry it’s just a new OS with plenty of options as it stands today. All this has done is create talk and people trying to use it on production machines early when they shouldn’t be only on test machines.

Anyone having a prob with Secure Boot and TPM 2 should go 'er and do the appropriate. I find Windows 11 most restful!

I downloaded Rufus and used this:

All goes on very satisfactorily - on all my computers!

I don't get the rumblings and concerns over Windows 11. 10 has 4 years left and a lot can change in that time.
I generally try to avoid the latest software (ie in my CAD programs) and hold back a year or two so I have all the service packs and patches. Same principle applies here - I'll hold off as long as I can before upgrading. Hopefully by then it will be quite refined.

Pretty much hold on upgrading until the last day possible before they stop offering it as a free upgrade to windows 10 key holders!

Since you're not upgrading until "later this year", why not just wait until "later this year" when we know much more about Windows 11 compatibility?
Restful? What do you mean?
Its a new feature, The Restful button, press it and unfurls a comfy bed to sleep in. Its why they moved the Start button to the middle so the Restful button could be on the left.
I could do with this feature
Lots of people fail the compatibility check due to no TPM. You can buy TPM chips if you have a header for it in your motherboard, but the scalpers are trying their hand.
Some CPUs allow a soft way of providing TPM functionality but I'm not sure just how compatible that is. Laptops from 2018 onwards likely already have compatible TPM chips

Search in the 'Advanced' section in your BIOS for: fTPM for AMD or Intel is PTT. Nobody needs a TPM module if it's a relatively recent motherboard/cpu. So no need to get scalped off sh1tnuts trying to sell a £7 item for £70.
