This is a good plan IMO (cheaper too). I ended up with 46/34 up front and 11-34 in the back. I can do 99% of everything I want. 11-36 would do it for me but I was limited by my rear derailler. It was rated at 32T max but I pushed to to 34T and it works fine. Would have to add the Wolftooth if I wanted to go bigger. You might be able to use 11-36 depending on which RD you have.
