Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Well, actually it's 8/9/10-speed compatible but that doesn't help the OP if he really want to go to 11-speed.

alcjphil phrased it extremely well; "The upgrade from 9 speed to 11 speed is not incremental." It can and will be expensive.
