Is there a way to revert my current iPhone iOS?

I experienced none of those problems. It did take awhile (15-20 minutes)after the update finished for all the aps to become available again.

It's unusual but sometimes an upgrade just goes wrong. When that happens, restore your phone using your computer. Then reload your back up. That usually sets things to rights.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro so, not that much newer. I've seen no slow down since the first hour or so. But, even some slow-downs or unusual battery drain is to be expected within the first 24 hours. The phone is still doing stuff in the background as a result of the update.

No. Apple does not (and never has) support downgrading.

I think that just restores your data – not the version of iOS that you were previously running.

Nope. There is no way to downgrade the version of ios. All that will do is restore the data as it was at the time the backup was made. it will not change the iOS version.
