tbh i would recommend 2x10 for you if you want to double purpose your bike as a road bike and a cross bike. 1x10 will get the job done but 2x10 will give you a much better road gearing without compromising your ability to ride on terrain. if my yeti was my only geared bike, it'd be a 2x10.
with a 1x10 that gives me enough gearing to get up long climbs, i compromise my gearing choice by having really big gaps between cog sizes in the upper half of the cassette (sometimes hard to find a comfortable cadence) and i can easily spin out descending above 35mph.

My 1966 Moulton F, 7 speed IGH... it is one of the smoothest riding bicycles I have ever ridden which is due to the suspension.

It is a blast.
They are an incredibly well designed bicycle... the front suspension and rear damper offset the small and very lightweight wheels and high pressure tyres and it delivers a Cadillac ride while being extremely nimble and fast.
My friend built it up and has an impressive collection of Moultons (the only bike he rides)... the build quality is first rate.
