Good point. I've seen online that it's worked with the SS cage with B-screw adjustment. I've got a 52/36 chainset. And reason to think it won't work?

Which RD? R7000-SS for example only has a 35T capacity. Meaning with your 52/36 chainset, the biggest cassette this RD cage would be able to handle in terms of chain tensioning is an 11-30T:
(52-36) + (30-11) = 35.
Coupled with the max biggest cog being a 30T, I don't think this will work properly (according to the specs).

The 11-speed ones are indeed pricier than I thought.
By the way, you might want to verify if a short/SS cage derailleur will fit an 11-34T cassette, because I don't think it will. By original specification it won't, at least; I think 30T is the max (depending on which series). On top of that, it might not have enough capacity, but I don't know your chainset setup.
