FWIW you can mix Shimano and Sram 12 speed derailleurs and cassettes - I use a Deore 12sp derailleur with an Eagle cassette.
I agree the mechanical GX Eagle derailleur is of disappointing quality. Upgrading the b-bolt to the X0 version helps but you can get an entire Deore derailleur for the same price as the b-bolt.
