Just wanted to verify hardmod still working under 11.1 by myself. Tests on a 2DS-EUR.
I "downgraded" with an old 10.3 native (=no hacks) hardmod image I had in backup, then let the system upgrade to 11.1.
After checking 11.1 was "native" (no luma, no CIA-icons) I downloaded it with my hardmod (I like archiving this stuff) then wrote a 11.0 A9LH-sysNAND.bin back to the EEPROM.
The 2DS came up with the luma splash screen and CIAs showing up again. I was able to upgrade again to 11.1 - this time with A9LH intact.
So I think chances are good to "downgrade" a 11.1 image's NATIVE_FIRM to 10.4 (see Plailect's tutorial).
Or in other words: the 11.1 upgrade did not inhibit the blue BOOTROM-screen when a hardmod is plugged in - or shorter: hardmod still working (on my 2DS).

But without being able to start homebrew you cannot go further if you want to do an A9LH installation.

Sweet!
I'm out of my office until next sunday so I couldn't test... in cases like this, I usually test by myself... thanks for the confirmation!

Forgive my ignorance, since I am still new to having a hacked 3DS.

I followed that Plailect hacking guide and have a N3DS with arm9loader and Luma3DS installed, does this mean I can just run the update as if it was a normal 3DS and not have to worry about anything?

Yes. For now you won't be able to run .3dsx homebrews, but that's a relatively easy fix, and besides I don't know if you use them anyway (I don't)!
