Ordered a bunch of 11 speed cassettes and chains in the fall, cassettes were more for having a different range 11-30 vs 11-28 and one for trainer. I have one extra chain per bike for this year so I think I'm in a good spot. It's going to be all the parts you normally wouldn't stock up on that will be an issue. Wouldn't want to break a shifter or derailleur this year, could be a nightmare replacing.
Just looked on MEC where I got everything last year and they don't have any 11 speed chains.
