Ahhh, if we were only neighbors....

It's possible under some circumstances of synergy combining componentry selection, chain width, gearing, and skill to set up for cross chaining with full clearance on both side of FD. Still, for good and obvious reasons it not a necessity nor even recommended. More succinctly, in answer to your question, the latter.

Good luck on your fix.

Best,
