Yeah but if you had a double you'd have a whole set of bigger gears already :)
I'm fine not being convinced 1x is a good idea. Maybe I'll ride something muddy enough to ruin an FD and change my mind but right now, nope.
My Shiv is 1x for da aeroz and, even on the road with 1x chainring, chain drops fucked a couple of races before I pot a hacked FD back on for proper chain retention.

Those XD driver hubs do look handy for running a 10t cog and being able to bomb down a mountain with 140 gear inches.
Again, might wear the chain faster than necessary.
