Why Shimano chainrings if you don't mind me asking?
A SRAM 3-Bolt system is the most likely route they'll go for good reason. No proprietary tools and the best support on the market in terms of ring options whether it's a 24t NSB, an oval stainless Wolftooth, etc. Plenty of SHI-12 options for 3-Bolt if that's a concern.
At least RaceFace used a legacy tool interface for CINCH. Shimano could have done the same.
