Newer / higher end chains are actually better made than older 5-8 speed stuff. They last longer and could well be stronger.
beware that some are a full 3/32" wide and won't fit 9+ speed chains which are only 11/128" wide
I've not noticed this running 11 speed chain (SRAM PC-1130) on various 3/32nd chainrings and cogs.

Show me an 11-speed chain which can win a tug of war against a Wippermann 7R8 🙂

Most of them are OK, but I know somebody mentioned last time we discussed this that a particular brand's 3/32" sprockets were too wide for 11/128" chain

Might sound a bit odd, but running fixed with a 3/32" chain for now, a classic 7 speed chain ; wondered if using a 10 speed chain (the ones that are lighter like this one with a quick link would be alright?
I am not doing any skids as I have a brake on, and not using it as a track bike either so I am not putting it through important constrain, but I still climb a bit with it. Anyone tried this?
