Does anyone know if the iOS 11 Developer Final backs up messages to iCloud? Im upgrading from a 6 -> 6s+ and would kinda like my messages to transfer. Im asking cause i know they disabled it for one of the betas.

It is still disabled with the Gold Master. It will be added back in later along with iMessage ApplePay.

But full iOS 11 is out. Can i update to that instead?

Totally unrelated, sorry. But I might be upgrading from my 4 to a SE in a few months. Can I expect my iMessage messages to transfer over? Currently running iOS 7.

The GoldMaster is the same as the release version from Tuesday.

If you have iCloud set up and functional, your messages should be backed up.

Kk. Because I don't see them on my iPad (iOS 8) and both have iMessage activated with the same Apple ID.

iMessages between devices is still kind of wonky, I have a 5S on IOS 10.2 and an iPad on IOS 8 and not all of them transfer over. I would still check someplace like an apply forum or make a thread on here, I'm certainly no expert in this field

Interesting. My messages straight up don't show up in my iPad so... *shrugs*

That may be a sign of incompatibility, I'd look into it more.
