Agreed. My wife has a 10-spd XTR shifter driving an 11-spd XT clutch mech on an 11-46t SunRace cassette with a top-end SRAM 10-spd chain. I detuned the clutch quite a bit (still a bit more hold than an SRAM clutch) and it's one of the nicest feeling and shifting setups I've ridden.
It doesn't bang out hard shifts quite as well as the newest top-end stuff but I'd happily ride the setup up over most current drivetrains.
