Muwahhahahahahahhaahhaahahhahhahahhahaahahahahahhaahahhaah
Just put on a front D and be done with it. Most people will have 3x front D's so to deal with potential chain drop adjust the positioning on the front D so it acts like a guide. It means two pushes to go up or down but it's not a big deal and it has the bonus of guaranteeing engagement if you need to drop to the granny in an emergency. I was looking at the price of new 12spd cassettes the other day and just shook my head. I've had maybe one issue of a dropped chain on my Instinct, otherwise running 34/26 x 11-36 has been perfect for the Shore with pretty much no need for the 26x36 unless I've been off the bike for a while. And yay good chainlines.
