I'm skipping around seasons, now on season 5.
Why skip?
There's lots of flashbacks and references to previous seasons, especially as the series goes on.

I originally wanted to avoid the beginning Bec the quality was terrible. So I picked a random season, 11. Then I decided let me try an find an earlier one with decent quality, so I'm on 5 now

The problem is that they often have repeat racers, all star seasons, repeat tasks, etc.

You'll lose a lot of context jumping around.

Do you think going straight from season 5 would suffice? The earliest seasons just have terrible quality

Shabbos
I think that the Belkins are MO/Shomer Shabbos? Met him once here, but other Clevelanders will probably know more than me.
