GT dad, one of my favourite drivetrain experiences this year was a 1x setup with an XO 9-Speed shifter, Shimano XT 11-Speed clutch derailleur, and a SunRace 11-40t 9-Spd cassette.
The shifter will most likely outlast the rear derailleur, so keep it in mind if you wreck the rear and want to keep running the shifter!
