If you drop GCC 5, you can make the minimum requirement C++14, as it's the default for GCC 6 and newer. (C++17 is default for GCC 11.)
I do not think that is a good argument for the minimum level of C++ a library decides to support. Programmers can always decide, if they wish, not to use the default level of a compiler.
Yes, in theory, but there aren't many reasons to downgrade GCC 6 to C++11, as C++14 has very good backward compatibility.
