A dominant7#11 could very well be a misinterpreted Dominant7b5 chord, *Of course we all know the difference there.
With a minor7#11, that could be a half-diminished chord and 99% of the time is. *again, obvious difference
In a major chord, the #11 with the 5th is actually colorful but over a minor chord it is disrupting and dissonant (like it's fighting between diminished and minor sounding). *You have to be carefull w/the voicing, put the #11 towards the bass, natural 5th more towards the melody
11th chords are suspended 7th chords, *???? "G7sus4", that's really a G11. That is actually a very common chord. *your right, it's a common chord, but it's not a G11 chord.
