Most of the difficulties of using Xcode 11 on Mojave relate to the fact that Xcode 11 does not contain the Mojave SDK. Xcode 11 contains the Catalina SDK. As such, the same problems would not affect you if you're using Xcode 11 on Catalina.

Since Catalina has just been released and many port maintainers probably haven't updated yet, it will probably be months before we've all had a chance try to discover whatever problems might exist and to try to fix them. If you'd like to participate in that, please do and file tickets or pull requests if you discover problems. If you'd rather have an experience closer to things just working, then wait a few months before upgrading.
