Great article!
I am 100% on board with running legacy (30t) chainrings on all boost frames. Works a lot better for me than running boost chainrings (Im using RF Cinch cranks). Also, I did have problems with worn low gears running 34t. Now on 30t, wear seems to be optimal / proportional on low / high gears.
I run Eagle on all of my bikes. Early November, there was 0 eagle derailleurs in stock here in EU, so out of curiosity, I installed the Microshift advent X - 10 speed drivetrain onto my nomad. 500km of mud and snow and rain later- I did not have to touch it! Not once! Quite a revelation for me. I must say, this may be my favorite drivetrain of all time.
This groupset does not know what a chainline is., and if it does, it just doesn't care.
So yes, seems like for me - the future has fewer gears..
