Is the only 11spd MTB cassette available the 11-40?
If so, I would need to look at 10spd MTB cassettes for a 36T which are almost certainly not going to work with 11spd road stuff.
So I guess I should forget about staying Shimano unless I go for their 34T cassette.

When I was looking, I could only find 11sp MTB cassettes with 40 or 42t bottom, except for the CS-HG800-11 11-34, which was vapourware at the time. My options were use an 11-40, get an 11-32 road cassette machined down and hope the chain didn't touch the spokes, or replace my unused rear hub/wheel.

...are the same as 10spd Shimano MTB hubs. 11sp MTB cassettes overhang the base of the freehub.
XTR M9000 11-40 11sp cassette (from eBay, lightly used) on XT M8000 hub, Ultegra 6870GS 11sp medium cage mech. No fancy mech hanger, but Surly Straggler frame, so mech hanger is probably longer than normal road hangers.
Haven't touched the b-screw at all, it's at whatever it was set in the factory.
