Or just stick with 50/34 and 11-36 and have less faff.
Not necessary so.
With a 50t chainring, you're more likely to spend more time on the upper gears of the rear cassette which are much more widerly spread out.
Having a 48/32 mean that you're more likely to use the middle gear which are more evenly spread out.

44 11/36 gives what benefit? And only retro grouches want bar end shifters.
It just seems you want to make life over complicated and may well need to change chains.
