You are welcome!
I’ve had no issues with creaking on either the XT or XTR crank/chainring interface. I tested another set of cranks between them though and I’ve only had the XTRs a few weeks so it’s not a long term opinion. I do have a fair amount of confidence in Shimano’s testing and manufacturing though so I’m optimistic about long term silence. It seems like a very snug and precise connection if that tells us anything.
