I've had XX1 on two bikes now with no backpedal issue. Last summer I went with
XTR derailleur and shifter with XT 11-42 cassette and had the issue. I had a
Chromag 30 tooth ring which has more offset than the Raceface. Then I went to
a One Up oval 30 and their simple guide. When I went to replace the XT chain
for the third time on the same drivetrain I found the 42 looked really worn so
I changed the cassette and got the XTR chain. Same ring. Did not look worn so
perhaps One Up's claim that their guide reduces ring wear is true. No more
backpedal issue either.
I found with double rings that I was melting the small ring in short order and
not using the big ring that much. I was using a 24-36 Raceface set up on one
bike and XTR 26-38 on another. The XTR had better wear characteristics than
the Raceface.
