When installing Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 from scratch, one advantage is its relaxed hardware requirements. However, there isn't much benefit to doing the same with the 2021 IoT version, since you can easily change the Windows edition later. Additionally, the PID.txt method for installing the virtual edition from scratch is only applicable to Windows 11 24H2 and later versions. While there are other methods to install from scratch, they are more complex, and the results do not justify the effort.
