As I said earlier, the shifting pattern would be majorly annoying, at least for me. This is where electronic shifting could be an asset to me. Just hit the one shifter, moving it higher or lower. The computer figures out which derailleur or derailleurs to use and which way and how far. That could be an improvement. Already, I'm seeing the wisdom of 1x drivetrains for that very reason. Your only choices are up and down, no mixed shifts.
