+1 on the 1x approach.
On my AWOL I run 38 - 11/46 and it's perfect (for me).
Road rides, fully loaded tours, South Downs, never felt like I need more gears. If I did for a particularly mountainous ride I'd probably just swap down to a 36t front ring.
I don't think I'll ever have a front mech again.
