I'm done pushing for the ability to downgrade to a previous version of iOS. I'll settle for an option to tell iOS "no longer notify me that an iOS update is available". As a workaround, I've installed the tvOS beta profile on my iPhone SE and iPad Mini 4 (too late for my 12.9 iPad Pro). Should Apple prevent that workaround from working, then that is the time I'm "done" with iOS devices.
It's incredible the lengths Apple is willing to go in order to get people to update (can you even believe they just want that to brag about the number?) one: Nags cannot be disabled within iOS (TvOS Beta doesn't count. It isn't integrated into iOS.)
Two: Nags are frequent if you charge the device with Wi-Fi on. Frequent as in multiple times a day. If I said no, chances are, 30 minutes later, the answer is still no.
Three: In every single support conversation, the first thing they always do is ask for the iOS version and try to get you to update.
This has a very clear example, although this was on Mac: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/please-help-most-of-my-storage-disappeared.2089545/
Here, Apple wanted me to (listen to this) create a backup, update to High Sierra or Sierra or whatever it was at that time, delete my entire account and migrate everything to a new one.
The solution was... to turn Time Machine on and off.

Have been holding back updating my 2017 iPad keeping it on 10.3.3

Put on my brave pants and updated it to iOS 11.3, well, absolutely nothing to worry about!

I am keeping my iPad Mini 4 on 10.3.3 because I do not want to louse up my old-style iTunes 12.6 sync from MacBook Air (which I will keep on Sierra). I just waded thru the list of iOS 11 features and do not need any of them. My iPad is for simple use, not "work", just mail, Notability, browsing, video streaming, photos, books, and music. Pretty dull but plenty good enough for an old person who has had enough of change.
