even road derailleur can just about cope with 11-40 on a 50/34
In every of the 22 gears? Including big-big and small-small?
My RD7000-GS did, even the 5800 did when paired with the roadlink, but you never use those gears apart from 5s of brain failure before you realize how much you're crossing.

Small-small maybe, but it's nice to be able to utilize big-big.
And I'm not sure I agree with the statement that it works if you can't use all gears. But that's another discussion I guess.
