Yes. Decision made early this morning whilst waiting for a plumber to restart our water supply (another story).
Bike is booked in to an actual workshop now.
. Etap will migrate across to its intended place on the Talbot, awaiting a time when @coldharbour has time to fit some mounts for me.
Exploro will go to 1x with 50 up front and 11-36 back, which should give me just about enough gears for most things (similar ratio to 39/28- which has covered ne for everywhere previously) and if not I'll swap the rear derailleur for the one on the GreyHouse (which needs a higher lowest gear than it's current 10-42).
Seatpost will be lathered in carbon anti-slip paste.
Helicopter tape over anywhere that has been minorly damaged by 36T/ chain-suck.
And we're back on track.... hopefully.

Have you tried normal compact cranks? Will you really notice a difference between a 34 and 36? Seems a shame to send back a bike like this because of a few teething issues. I'm sure the seatpost can be fixed with grease and carbon paste in all the right places
