1x10 or 1x8, 9 speed isn't worth it unless you can get them for cheap, chain wear is similar to the 10 speed, but with one less cog.
Also any 8/9 speed derailleur work with 10 speed as long it's not those shadow/clutch one.
So 11-36 will work? Says max 34t on Velobase for M730 XT
Not sure, it could work, only way is to find out, even something cheap like the Shimano Altus work well.
Depends. I bodged a 9 speed cassette to test out 11-36 on 8 speed. It shifts....but that's not saying much really. It shifts badly. Could probably be adjusted to a degree, but frankly, I was happy with the range offered by 11-34.
