It is not possible to upgrade more than one major version of an OS at a time - i.e. you'd need to do 8->9 then 9->10 then 10->11.
It may well be safer and faster to
not upgrade, but instead to export the relevant data and config from the Debian 8.3 server, then replicate config and import data on a fresh Debian 11 server, which you can configure (whilst offline) to work the same way as the existing one, without needing to modify the existing server (and retaining it as a reference).
Whichever approach you take, you'll need to read the relevant
PHP migration notes for every PHP version between what you're currently running and what you plan to run, so you know how to deal with the backwards incompatible changes.
I don't entirely understand what you're asking regarding Apache modules, but most of those look like default/standard modules, so again you'll want to refer to relevant
Apache Httpd upgrade notes for any necessary changes.
