I do this a lot on my Krampus.
I've got a set of Monkey Nuts that allow you to lengthen the CS by 14mm and still use a rear mech (albeit with a slightly modified rear mech).
It climbs a lot better with longer CS and gets more weight forward which means you don't need to consciously weight the front wheel as much.
