Yes!
I like the idea that I manually generate each of the 11 words, where I see exactly how my coin flips or dice rolls picked the word, without having to trust that the device has processed my dice rolls correctly. No hardware, except my hand and the dice, so the 11 (or 23) words
Or maybe you have a different suggestion? I don't think I want the device to do any more computation than necessary, because then it's just another black box that might be broken in subtle ways. For example, if we combine entropy from many different sources, there might be a bug at the end where most of the entropy is accidentally discarded (e.g. truncated) at the end

Also, when I said "selected randomly", I shouldn't have used the word "selected". I would select each word with a suitable physical randomness, like dice.
