I've been on the new XTR for a while, with a Praxis crank / ring, which sadly means an Eagle chain.
It's been flawless, I'd warrantied 2 Eagle rear derailleurs in the same period last year. My experience with the brakes mirrors yours - they're standout. Better than the 8050 4 pot, saints, and Saint to XTR XC lever combos I've run.
