FWIW, I've found bashing various brand 11speed drivetrain components together much more forgiving than 12 speed stuff. Until SRAM/Shimano/e13/sunrace/box/etc drop 'old' 11 speed stuff completely, I woudln't worry. One of my favourite drivetrains to date was SRAM gears and chains on shimano 11 shifting (sometimes with an e13 cassette, sometimes without). Setup was slightly more finnicky than stock but once it was there it was SOLID. So you need a complete abandonment of the spacing across multiple brands before you run into real problems. Besides, I'd have to assume ebay will have your back for at least a solid half decade after production officially ends anyway.

Unrelated, I think Shimano made a mistake because I was reading all about this exact CUES on their site a couple days ago after the last LG article doing some link hunting from various LG things, which sounds like it was before the consumer launch?
