Besides the 11ft Boston Whaler, what other companies make smaller boats like these?
Or what would you recommend in this size range?

I've been thinking about this one. There just up the road from me. Been meaning to go up and take a look.

Just not sure of the advantages over disadvantages of a glass boat over a RHIB when talking 11 feet. 14 feet and then I see the advantages creeping in.

...but they are usually unsinkable...but some others are as well

You have not seen enough whalers then.
More rep than substance ...but they are usually unsinkable...but some others are as well
All commercially manufactured boats 16' or less have to be unsinkable when swamped to get USCG approval for sale.
I know a guy who was importing a small FG boat from NZ. He had to jump through a lot of hoops with the USCG to demonstrate that his boat met the requirements including going out in the harbor and swamping it with various amounts of "damage" to prove that it would not sink.
You should check them out, Ted. One of the few dinghies approaching the quality of your Cherubini. We bought one from the previous owner/inventor of BWB, but—at about 500 lbs fully dressed out—we need to beef up our davit and boat deck before we can put it on the Defever. It has significant room inside—even with the console—for an 11-footer. The owner told us the new manufacturer is making them to a higher quality standard than he was able to.
