Late 2011 MBP 17in - Can it go further than High Sierra?

Has anyone had Success using Legacy Patcher to get one of these machines passed High Sierra?

MBP Late 2011 17inch w/ 2.4 i7 8GB Ram 500GB SSD. Runs like a top on High Sierra, don't mind running a classic machine for simple tasks, but am interested in taking it up a notch, maxing RAM out to 16GB and running a more modern OS.

It's specifically left out of the supported devices. The early 2011 17in model is listed as supported, but not the late 2011 model, any insight to the difference here?

TIA
