Did you ever try one of the Shimano 46T MTB cassettes?
Actually, this topic made me think of another question: is anyone doing sub-compact rings (46/30) like AbsoluteBlack, that will fit on normal 110bcd 5-bolt cranks that are round and not some voodoo oval?

No, not quite fine that far. Maybe I should, in my quest to have the lowest possible gears.
I've got absolute black. They enable me to put smaller rings on than shimano intended so they work. The shifting is fine but occasionally I will feel a tooth slip under load, like with a worn chainring. I don't expect they'll last as long as normal ones.
they're kinda obsolete now that shimano has brought out the gravel chainset, but it didn't come out in time for last year's tcr.
