Yes it would work fine with 6870, 9070 or xt and xtr di2. You might want to go for a clutched mech for a 1x set up.
Do you have internal battery and a stem mounted junction box?

No need for clutched mech if you fit a narrow wide chainring.

I have the seatpost battery and the handlebar mounted gear indicator (which Im assuming is the junction box), the shifter is Shimano's own alfine gear and brake lever

I have no idea what a clutched mech is..
I have no idea whether a narrow wide chainring will fit the crankset I'll use on the bike...
Would like to reuse as many components where possible..

Thought I'd use the forum hive mind.
Just brought the genesis day one alfine 8 Di2, and I'm looking to replace the frame with something more custom/lighter. Shifter/derailleur question, if this frame was to have a derailleur hanger, would I be able to use my current shifter with a Di2 rear derailleur? As I'm thinking (and this might be crazy) to swap out the alfine at a later date, for a normal geared wheel and run a 1x10 or 1x11 set up...
Or would I need to get a new shifter and derailleur to make this idea work?
Let me know..
