You can get a Deore 11-46 for £35 on biketart at the moment just for balance.
On the wear thing, I've often wondered as a very unengineery person if 2x does wear slower than 1x. Does shifting between chainrings add additional 'side wear' to chains and chainrings? It might not, just curious. I'd also wonder if a larger cassette means you shift more at the rear, so does it last longer than a smaller cassette? I have no idea on the answers, I just ride what feels good to me.

Cues cassettes are pretty dear in my opinion. In terms of cassettes at least a 11-34 cassette is about half that of a 11-46. In my opinion if money saving is the object, a 2x system should wear less quickly than an equivalent 1x, and so you should get better life out of your gear all other things being equal.
