I guess, but I am always scared of a too shallow DOF, but the boukeh would be nicer for sure, although 4 or 5.6 are really optimal on that lens for sharpness. At 11 it is already past the best performance, very much like the figures at 2.8. This is probably nitpicking though, because I think Bryan mentioned the most important point, about the hand digging too deeply into the pretty face.

The working of DOF is more important than the sharpest setting for the lens... the sharpness, one does not really notice, DOF choice always is apparent.
