Yes, unfortunately UEFI boot is not yet supported by Rock, which rules out NUC 11.

Forget Rock. You can install windows, and Roon? Or wait for UEFI support. See this thread:
Can we install Roon in windows?

Yes install Windows, then Roon.
You can ignore ROCK for now.
Maybe Roon Server on Linux is a good alternative, Linux is free : https://help.roonlabs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/linux-install

Install Windows and RoonServer. You can use a Win7 licence key to activate Windows. Or,
Install Linux and RoonServer.

Let's first explain what Roon OS is, and then we can talk about Roon Optimized Core Kit. Roon OS is a custom Linux based operating system, tailored for running Roon Server and providing a best-in-class, appliance-type user experience to host the Roon...
Maybe it possible working doing following:
reboot and enter BIOS, click ‘Security’ → ‘Secure Boot’ menu, choose disable secure boot.
then back to check UEFI/Legacy is become normal or not.
