Is ArcMap 10.8.2 compatible with 11.1 Geodatabase (Oracle)?

Edit: An example of a reason to use ArcMap, even though Pro has been released for almost 9 years now:

Sometimes things don’t work properly in Pro, due to bugs, that did work in ArcMap. It can be helpful to go back and test in ArcMap when troubleshooting issues.

It seems the answer is yes, given that we are at a supported version of Oracle for both ArcGIS client versions.

ArcMap 10.8.x: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/latest/database-requirements-oracle.htm
ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/latest/windows/database-requirements-oracle.htm
Client and geodatabase compatibility: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/client-geodatabase-compatib...

One item to note is that there may be functionality in the 11.1 geodatabase that will not work within ArcMap (like Branch Versioning, Parcel Fabric, etc.)

Thanks. Good point.

Similarly, any FCs or tables with attribute rules won't be viewable in ArcMap. Although a workaround is to create database views on the data to share with ArcMap users. But of course, ArcMap users wouldn't be able to edit the data via the views.
