@HoKe and I are working our training plans for next year so barring injury, this looks ok.
one thing I have done to the bike is bought the new design rotor chain catcher, which looks more adjustable than the K-edge that I have fitted

I did it this year, but on my Planet X and not my S2. It's a long day in the saddle, but as long as you pace yourself it's not too bad. The 25% climb up the Devil's Elbow (comes at around the 200km mark, I think) is steep (obviously) but it's quite short. Make sure you get the pasta at the Devil route only stop (both there and back - you visit it twice). Certainly helped keep me going.
I found that the Devil Route was up towards the upper limit of what I could do and still enjoy it as a ride (I did it in 12h37m overall, 11h43m moving time). The Alpenbrevet Platintour was definitely on the other side of that dividing line...
