You've not been barred from another chippy!
You'll have nowhere left to go to if you carry on.

Out for a drive today for a change of scenery. Also wanted to collect some handlebars. That'll give me something to tinker with tomorrow.
It's been a decade since I had actual Dura Ace group set stuff on a bike at all (7800 10 speed). I've an option to buy a NOS set of 9100 in rim brake and mechanical shifting spec. It would replace current 11 speed Ultegra 6800 / 8000 series components.
Q: Is it worth doing? It looks better by miles, but does it function better?

dura ace is lighter, probably also shinier and therefore better, reportedly shifts a bit smoother too, though i'm sram red etap so not tried it

Keeps on getting battered wherever he goes, I heard.
I have a bike with Dura Ace 9100 and it’s a very smooth change. I have never tried 11 speed Ultegra but it’s way better than my bikes with 11 speed 105.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
You've answered your own question there. If it looks miles better you've got a bit of leeway so that even if it's a bit crap you'll still come out ahead.
