I thought 1.9:1 was the lowest ratio recommended by shimano for the alfine. 34&22 give 1.55:1 I hope you don't tear it to bits!!
I know Shimano have some figures for this somewhere but there's plenty of e-bikes running (what at least looks like) sub 1:1 gearing with Nexus and Alfine hubs so I think it might be a load of nonsense.
