What are you going to use it for? I've done 1500+ miles on a 1x set up on dedicated winter/commuter bike and its perfect for that. One less thing to worry about.
I have 42t with 11-36 at the back while the upper end of the cassette hardly gets used I do use 36x42 on York's, Fox lane, Sundridge, Hosey common, Toys (south) etc. Generally faster than double set up roadies too. 36t is a lovely eject button over 32t. I have Sram 1170 which is I think 450g cassette and 42t Wolftooth 4 bolt with 6800 cranks.
