Win 11- local accounts vs Microsoft (online) logins

Endless possibilities. Answer depends on the level of security and features that you are after. If no domain controller exists then local may make sense. The only difference with win11 is that it acts like it is forcing you to start off with an online account. You can command prompt out of this. You can also start with the online account then add whatever accounts you want and even delete the Microsoft account.

I don't know your industry, but think very carefully before you consider this. Who deleted this month's customer A/R file?? The log will just say, "KingPen_User." Which could be any of six people (including you.)

How do you plan on authenticating them to email, shared calendars, etc.? Or are they just all sharing a first in first out queue? If they're that kind of worker, you need to consider how you're going to enforce group policy or application whitelisting to make sure they're not downloading crap that infects the other PCs or your "server," etc.

Are you at least going to use custom DNS settings to try to block porn and malware? How will you keep them from changing them behind your back?

And what is your fear of an online account login, specifically? That it won't work if the Internet is down?
