to my non-expert eye it looks like the front mech needs to be lower - even 1mm may make a difference and rotated counter clockwise by a fraction (when looking down at the FD). Perseverance will pay off - I have my apex stuff running fine with no rub and shifting sweetly - this is with force 22 cranks and rings. I know the YAW stuff is different but when I'm on the big ring the FD cage is about 1-2mm from the teeth. It must be possible. In any case, I'd take rubbing on 53/12 over rubbing on 39/18 onwards.
Hope you can get it sorted.
