It's good enough with 5.56, and I'm terrified I'd put the small cap on and forget to switch it back for my .300 BLK.
Rev 9 just screws together with no ratchet system at all. IIRC Griffin made those ratchet end caps so those other cans could be used on a much wider array of hosts, ie full power rifles, but still have the take apart function.

I have dedicated caliber cans for everything except .45 which I shoot so little of it doesn't matter. 9mm is also the only thing that I have just one of. All others have at least two or more options (at least).

While I have in the past shot .22LR through my 9mm can I did it just as a test. It definitely works quite good. Like with anything else shooting 22 LR it will need a good cleaning in not that long should you ever want to try it.

That all being said swapping out a smaller diameter end cap, at least with 22LR it will make only a small amount of difference in sound suppression. You can notice it yes, but it will not be crazy more quiet or something. I have a 22 end cap as well and yes I did test it just because I'm curious.
