We installed AXS with a shimano cassette and chain. It works pretty good. Can't comment in the FD but won't expect much problems if set up right.
If it was me, for a TT bike I'd go AXS 1x. -
seems there are lots of people who seem to have got AXS working perfectly well with Shimano 12 speed bits
really interested to hear how you get on. would like to go AXS but the cost of chain, crankset, cassette really really put me off....!

Need to source a 'master' controller to pair with the derailleurs, but there's a pretty knackered (but still working) Rival shifter on ebay I'm watching.
what is the role of this btw? what levers are you using?

Gx axs shifter for only 80 euros would do the job as master controller

Thanks! I was contemplating 11 speed eTap for my road bike for a while, but the availability of spares is just too much of a concern.
I actually took the plunge yesterday and bought some new Rival AXS stuff. After some reading of other forums (mostly WW), seems there are lots of people who seem to have got AXS working perfectly well with Shimano 12 speed bits. So I bought the following:
Ultegra 12 speed cassette and chain
Rival FD and RD
The wireless blips
Praxis rings for my existing Red cranks (Praxis say they are AXS and Shimano 12 speed compatible)

It's definitely experimental and for now I'm just going to try it on my old TT, but I'm hopeful from comments online that it will work. Worst case scenario, I'll just buy an AXS cassette/chain and XDR freehub/wheelset (would need to buy a disc wheelset for the new TT frameset I have my eyes on anyway).
