Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Probably not as the Ultegra rear derailleur is unlikely to work with a cog that large. Shimano claimes that rear derailleur has a 27T limit but experience says 30 or even 32 teeth usually works but 34T almost never.

You could substitute a Shimano MTB rear derailleur and that will solve the problem. Any Shimano 9-speed MTB rear derailleur (not the newer 10-speed Dyna Sys MTB derailleurs) should work and will allow your current shifters, etc. to be used.
