The 1x10 Crosscheck project is almost finished, the combination of DA DT shifter + Tanpan runs like butter.
Anyway, I'm unsure about one thing, is the chain too long?
Look fine, only appear too long because the chainring is small, it will also look too short when you put it on the smallest cog.
Keep it, you might be able to get a 11-42t cassette on it with that configuration (Sunrace make a 10 speed version).
I run one of those. Works great with that derailleur. Some of the jumps in gearing are a bit annoying, but it's understandable and you get used to it.
