Most folks report that 10-speed cranks work "okay" with 11-speed transmissions. Okay, but not optimally. Some newer FSA cranks are even labeled "10/11-speed" on the big ring and designed to work on both. If yours is not, there could be some marginal improvement in noise and shifting with a swap to a 10/11-speed model or true 11-speed one. I would use this opportunity to move up to a better crank than the Gossamer like one matching your new transmission parts or an FSA SL-K Light crank. Standard or compact is up to you.
