We're no doubt with different 3rd party things but after sticking with Yosemite long after the next systems were out I purchased a 2015 refurb MBP that had El Capitan installed so I just went with it, and have had no DAW hardware or software related issues I can remember. Currently on 10.11.6. OTOH, there's nothing about it that makes me specifically glad I'm on it. Nearly everything Apple has updated in recent years has to do with things I care nothing about, or even avoid. One thing of note is that most net communication has improved somewhat but Mail is definitely worse. Finder is a little more finicky. But I don't have any problems with any audio working in 10.11.6. I have no desire to go to Sierra.
It might be a good idea to have a dual boot drive. It won't be too long before some necessary software won't support Mavericks, though it won't be Reaper : )
