So you'd have to be sure the left side guide is long enough to get the cable positioned behind the ST coming of the guide, yeah?
When I mentioned chainstay centerline I should have clarified
centerline from the side..... You RD stop is above that centerline so yes, you need a DT mounted guide.
Someone can correct me if I wrong but I think all double DT cable guides are designed to properly position the FD cable around the back side of the ST. And they can be bend to better optimize routing.
