I assume you had to move it up the frame when you put on a big ring? Make sure the FD cage is correctly aligned.
This. I use a Di2 9070 FD with a 46/30 crankset (square-taper LOL) with an 11-32 and it doesn't make noise. The Di2 roadie FDs were never made with anything lower than 50/34 in mind.

OP, this sounds exactly like an alignment and placing issue of the FD. SO long as you don't have a riveted/etc. FD braze, you should be able to get the FD to the place it needs to be to do what it needs to without noise.
