Chest does confirm this (i.e. there is no shorter mate) with a slightly
different PV:

PV: Qxf4+ e5 Qxe5+ Rxe5 Qxe5+ Kxe5 Nd3+ Ke6 Naxc5+ Qxc5 Nxc5+ Ke5 Nbd7+ Qxd7
Nxd7+ Kf5 R6g5+ Ke6 Re5+ Kf7 Re7#

The first 6 moves are the same.  (K7/600, 30 MB hash, 46.45 sec)
No other move is a solution for the mate in 11.
The effective branching factor for Chest is quite nice (i.e. small) here:

 depth    time      EBF
#  3      0.01s                 0kN  0.93         50-         0
#  4      0.02s [  2.00]        1kN  1.16        102-         0
#  5      0.09s [  4.50]        6kN  1.41        388-         0
#  6      0.31s [  3.44]       26kN  1.80       1467-         0
