I'm running the same deore cassette with my old 11 speed xt derailleur and although it needs to be relatively clean and lubed all the time it works really well if you can stay on top of it. The next step will be a 12 speed Shimano chain and appropriate chainring to utilise the new shifting improvements built into the cassette
