I’m happy with sticking to 2x
This is also what I am doing. I see no reason to reduce range, add cross chaining, shelve perfectly functional parts, etc.

As far as the di2 charging box goes not sure what you mean? You’ve charged your battery while riding? How big are your rides?
“ A modern Di2 battery is said to last between 2000 and 5000 kilometers per charge. This depends a bit on how often you shift and also your shifting style. The front derailleur has to work harder than the rear derailleur and thus also consumes more energy”
There’s nowhere better to hide the box on a ti frame when the bar end solution exists but I will buy new bars (zipp xltc SL) for the di2 routing instead of drilling my current zipp bars
The frame has internal routing for the gears and hydraulics so make sense to go full neatness 🤷♂️
