as long as you can handle the slightly gappy gears.
That's why I'm thinking of keeping the 48/32 chainset, as the 48t with 11-34 is a perfect 1x10 for road riding, and I got the 32t for off road.

Yeah, I was wondering about doing that with SRAM as they claim that cross-chaining isn’t a thang

This. Technically you only have to use the front derailleur when you change your type of riding.

I can’t fit a front mech to mine, but the 1x setup is adequate for most things for me.

Mine's 1×10 with 40T ring and 11-36 cassette. It's too high for loaded bikepacking and too low for club runs, but OK for everything else, as long as you can handle the slightly gappy gears. If you're used to riding fixed then you'll probably be just fine, as you're used to being in the wrong gear all the time anyway.
