Those look like H11 projectors still, yes.
HIDs are still superior in overall output at this moment yes - especially vs plug and play LEDs. I briefly considered a proper LED retrofit - much closer to HID retrofit output levels - but I didn't like the color temperature in the end. I run 4200k HID bulbs now.
Couple options here:
Diode Dynamics SL1 H11s - very well engineered for proper beam pattern/great heat dissipation but on the pricier end. ~5500k temperature. I run these in my high beams - some fan noise when they're on but it ain't that bad.
Modded H9 halogen bulbs.
Upgraded H11 halogen bulbs - Osram Nightbreaker Laser/Unlimited.

Just bought a set of SL1 9005s and H11s for my highs and lows. H11s went in right away, but I couldn’t get the 9005s to lock into place. I see here you are using H11s for your high beams — was this because the 9005s didn’t fit?
EDIT: Got the 9005s to fit by swapping out the o-rings from the factory lights onto the new LED modules. Both low and high beams are great -- much more light than the halogens.
