Should this be removed now that the Tails 6 stuff was also removed?

I think it's generally good advice to recommend backups prior to updates (even relatively low-risk ones), so I'm inclined to leave it in

I agree with that sentiment, but I don't think the language matches, e.g. "but we especially recommend it before a major Tails version bump" even though we aren't telling them to do said bump. I'll defer to you on keeping it, but maybe the language can be further tweaked?

Sorry for tweaking this again, now that we have the language in the pre-announcement post, can we reuse it here? (slightly tweaked to be post-release)
SecureDrop 2.11.0 will automatically run checks to ensure all servers are ready for migration to Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble). If issues are found, a banner will be displayed in the Journalist Interface to both admins and journalists. Administrators are encouraged to review the guide explaining how to resolve any errors and perform any necessary steps before Jan. 31st, 2025.

Description of Changes
Description: This adds an upgrade guide for 2.11.0. Notable changes here are that it also links out to the noble migration guide, and that it no longer specifies that users should upgrade to Tails 6 (we have been advising this in each release since 2.8.0, so I decided this is no longer necessary. If others feel we should include it again, I can add it back.)
