I’m experiencing a lot of stuttering in animations on the iPhone 11 running 15.4.1. Also a lot of memory/RAM refreshing apps when I go back into them, but that might be a limitation with the GB’s of RAM in the iPhone 11 vs. screen size.
Got a tip for us?

People having issues: were older iOS 15 builds a mess for you too or only the later / most recent ones?
15.1.1 is smooth on my 12 pro and 15.1 on my 2021 m1 11” and se2
coming from 14.1 , 14.5 and 14.8 respectively no other frame of reference

That’s interesting, they’ll probably run a model where the subscription becomes cheaper after a certain period, but there still needs to be an incentive to upgrade to a newer phone and ideally for Apple, remove those older phones from circulation.
Really hoping it means an end to planned obsolescence, but maybe I’m being too hopeful.
Yes, the issue was already somewhat on iOS 14.6+ but no where near as prevalent as iOS 15 (starting from the betas).
It appears you are running the 15.5 beta. What exactly does that snippet of log file tell you?
Domain: UIPerformance
Problem: Springboard responsiveness - low
Detail: To_home_animation.
It tells us that problem is real and Apple must know about this issue. I filled up feedback and sended to Apple.

It clearly isn't isolated to the beta when it's also happening on 15.4.1 though.
But yeah, post that in the 15.5 beta thread to raise awareness that this is a real issue and not some placebo (I have been ridiculed for it).
Of course there is, if you want your phone to turn into a brick, upgrade.
And before that you had problems with animation, and freezes on iOS 15.4?
I spent some time with iPhone 13 Pro Max and there is no such a problem with animations. I believe that Apple just make animations faster for ProMotion display. Older iPhones just can't push so many frames per second and display with 60hz just skipping frames.
Do you notice any lag or stutter when navigating menu’s or scrolling through websites, out of interest?
Personally, there are features introduced in iOS 13 and 14 that I enjoy having. With iOS 15 only really Live Text so far. My iOS 15 experience isn't terrible, but it is noticeably worse IMO. The current release seems to run smooth... sometimes, and then noticeably less so other times. iOS 14 just had a more consistent higher level of performance.
