The new task bar can’t be moved to a short edge, so it obstructs a significant part of the screen.
Windows 11 can be displayed on a ultra wide monitor, but it’s not designed to work on that aspect ratio.

So you technically can move the task bar to the edge in Windows 11, but if requires a registry change. Ludicrous, but if you’re a home user you can do it.
If you’re stuck on an IT-managed install for work like I am, however, you’re out of luck

I’ve tested that, the taskbar completely break when you do that. Visually it’s at the edge, but everything else assumes that it’s below. For example, opening the start menu opens it at the bottom.

Oh so even if you do the registry workaround it’s worthless? Lol amazing, good to know.

Hm so you mean the task bar isn’t flexible then? Not quite what I understood by not working with ultrawides but I guess I can see where you’re coming from.

The only thing you can change is whether it’s centered or left justified, it’s not flexible at all.
The problem is that it takes up a significant amount of screen space for nothing.
