27 and 30 are indicators of WDDM version support (2.7 and 3.0) and not directly related to a driver version. MS has skipped releases of Win10 which had WDDM 2.8 and 2.9 and is jumping from 2.7 straight to 3.0 with Win11.

They've been confirmed more or less, gains depends on games. They're now in mainline drivers.
New WDDM 3.1 drivers (Windows Insiders I think?) boost OpenGL performance by leaps and bounds apparently.
