TM-
Deore 10 speed mech? No issues?
XT M8000 SGS, 11 speed. There is still tension on the derailleur while in the 46x40 gear, which I'm basically never in (just now for the picture). No issues whatsoever.
Thought capacity was only for 1x
Amount of chainrings only limits the maximum biggest cassette sprocket. Which in the case of 2x is a 42t. Overall capacity of the derailleur is 47T in all cases.
Have you attempted ghetto tubeless or happy with tubes?
Have yet to properly try this new guise. Reckon will get plenty of flats with these tyres, but currently don't feel the need for tubeless.

46/30 chainset, yes. Cassette is an 11-40, but the XT M8000 long cage derailleur has capacity for 11-42 with this chainring combo.
