Yup, hanger length on the 2016 Arkose wasn't bad either, I remember being stumped that the SS Di2 derailleur pushed 36t on the back without grinding. Mind you, this was with a 46t 1x setup.
Especially with the Shadow derailleurs, would be a doddle and wouldn't have to worry about destroying hangers constantly.

With a 11-28 cassette, it make for a great road gearing with a closer ratio between each cog, and the only time you might miss the 50 or 52t chainring is when racing and/or going down alpine road.
With a 11-36 cassette, it turn the 32t chainring into an MTB gearing yet kept the 48t as a "1x11" road gearing (with similar jump to an old 8 speed cassette).
Specialized made the right move in choosing to fit an MTB derailleur hanger on their Sequoia to allow the 105 derailleur to work with a 11-36t cassette.
Are you reading this James? maybe put a longer hanger on the 2019 Arkose??
