For 'fast' group riding and the odd race, I run exactly this - mostly out of laziness as it's set up that way for a road bike TT event and CBA changing back to a double. Anything under 6% is fine with an 11-30 and a 52 or 54t upfront.
If I was riding solo, looking at optimal cadence and wanting to ride steeper inclines, then yeah it's not great.
