From my experience, it's pretty difficult to get a good startburst from anything less than f16 or so. I prefer to shoot that lens closer to f8 as it's sharper but it gives a good starburst at f22. I'm sure there's some degradation due to diffraction but it doesn't show much.
This was shot at f22 I believe with a 24-105L. I took many shots that evening - some at f8 some at f11, but the best startbursts were at f22.
