17 can be in unstable before the release of bullseye.

If this is then eligible for testing migration except for the freeze,
it would enter testing in the first migration after the release.
With slight bending of the rules someone with ftp powers could then
copy the sources+binaries from bookworm/testing to bullseye-backports.

Slightly less bending of the rules and only marginally more effort would 
be to build ~bpo11+1 binaries for all bullseye release architectures
in unstable before the release of bullseye.

Either option sounds better to me than shipping 15 or 16 in a stable
release solely for bootstrapping 17 in backports.
