Yeah I think sub compact chainrings is becoming the new norm. The 10t cog 12 speed cassette with the sub compact rings could give you the best of both worlds. Maybe.

I am happy about the trend of compact chainrings then, they must look good on small-size frames.

Not maybe, definitely. It's a simple matter of ratios.
With 12-speed AXS 48/35 x 10-33, you get a higher hard gear than 52x11, and a lower easy gear than 34x32, 32x30 and 30x28, with small cassette jumps.
If you don't need the equivalent of a 52x11 top gear (who does besides pros), you can go for smaller chainrings to get a lower easy gear if you keep the same cassette, or get a smaller range cassette and decrease the cassette jumps even more.
Only thing is you need a 'special' hub to accommodate the 10t cassette cog.

Interesting how chainring and cassette sizes are so different from Shimano or Campagnolo.
