Problems:

I doubt the Yaw FD is triple compatible despite its epic throw. Maybe a half-step triple (which I figure 38/50/53 is optimal for); AFAIK it's only meant for up to a 16t spread.

Less overlap seems great on paper but there's a downside: when you shift the front you have to shift further on the rear, greatly increasing the chance of being off a cog or two. I briefly ran a compact, and after switching out the 34t for a 40t the relief was surprising; there's something to be said for a 10t gap.
