Thank you.
Shimano lists what’s optimal not what’s possible. Aaron hasn’t had to do any faffing about to make this work just fine. On this bike. It should be an almost universally transferable experience but be aware there are some bikes out there that put rear derailleurs in weird spots.
One note is that clearing the big (50-52t) low gear will likely require a bit more b-tension adjustment than is optimum so shifting in your high gears may not be as crispy.
