Why not

put two quick-links in the chain in order that I can swap between rings easily (or, rather, more easily than would be the case with having to break and shorten/lengthen the chain each time).
If only there was a solution for having two rings at the front. Maybe some mechanism to switch easily between them...
Kidding aside, this turned out very cool. Not something I would come up with, but cool nonetheless.

R-785 hydraulic brake levers/Di2 shifters
Can you change gear from either leaver?

@Dammit
Thanks!
I have to say I love it, it's exactly what I wanted it to be.
Complete build is as follows:
56cm CAAD12 disc frame and fork
ENVE 29er XC rims on
DT Swiss 240S hubs, 9mm bolt-thru RWS front, conventional QR rear, ceramic bearings, with
Schwalbe Pro-One tyres, run tubeless with sealant
SRAM XX1 10-42 cassette
Wolf Tooth 50T drop-stop ring (with 44T SRAM CX1 to go on for Rockies)
XTR Di2 rear mech
XTR Di2 gear indicator/front junction box
R-785 hydraulic brake levers/Di2 shifters
Flat mount rear, post mount front R-785 brakes with XT 160mm rotors
175 mm SiSl cranks with Power2Max Type-S 110 bcd spider, ceramic bearings
Speedplay Ti pedals (Ward rather than Speedplay axles)
3T Arx Pro 120mm stem
3T Rotundo LTD 42cm bars
Cinelli Caleido tape
Tilquist garmin mount
Fake SMP carbon saddle
Hylix 25.4 carbon post, with 3T clamping kit as the kit that came with the post was fit only for the bin
I think that's it, the only job I have left is to collect the bag of spares/unused parts from Soho and to put two quick-links in the chain in order that I can swap between rings easily (or, rather, more easily than would be the case with having to break and shorten/lengthen the chain each time).
