In theory it's better to start the vote after 8.11.4 is out and the bw-compat indices have been merged into branch_9_12 to make sure 8.11.4 indices can be read.
That said, 8.11.4 has tiny changes, and no changes in file formats in particular. Plus 9.11 is also supposed to read 8.11.4 as well but it's already been released, so nobody ever tested reading 8.11.4 indices with 9.11 either. At some point in the past, I remember that there were issues when there were two votes running concurrently because some things in our bw compat testing logic assume that there can be at most one unreleased version, I don't know if it's been fixed since then. In the end, I think it's your call whether to respin or not, either way likely works.
