Dunno but Skinny gives a positive anecdote and he's not exactly a weekend nodder, so, like, balance. Maybe see if you can test/try it?
PhilDAS-
I did point out it's likely much drier in general where he's riding vs. TD. I did also initially think Joe Nation had no issues or issues with only a charger but it was actually a battery. Also, I picked these because they're high placing racers and people were paying attention or documenting their issues. There could be 200 riders finishing TD with no SRAM issues but if I don't know about it...
"Oh, and my son-in-law did the Tour Divide this past June riding 2660 miles on the eastern divide of the Rocky Mts and his SRAM X01 performed flawlessly."

Of course it's anecdotal. I don't work in their returns department. It's also relatively easy to shit on SRAM because hardly anyone runs Di2 on MTB in these events. But what other info would you base it on? (FYI: Di2 wire failures are 99.9% installation error and I have two sets of Shimano Death Cranks going strong)
SRAM would be a "better" choice for me because my frame isn't Di2 compatible. But counter to that I know Di2 pretty well and have chargers/spares etc. If I could get all the Di2 gubbins up front, in the steerer or something, then I'd just have a single wire heading to the RD that could be taped under the chainstay.
