Yeah, the 50-34 jump is the thing, isn't it. You end up avoiding that shift and cross-chaining instead.
I'm curious about the 52-36 option on the 11sp Shimano cranks, whether the 16T difference means it still feels the same in practice as a compact or if it's a bit smoother. I guess you can fit 50-36 if you want (albeit at great expense, probably)?
