Compact 105 FC-5800 from a FSA Omega

I am looking to change my cranks on my gravel bike. I currently have a compact FSA Omega 170mm. No problem with it or the bottom bracket. I am isolating some potential knee problems so I want to try a 165 crank.

For reference, I have a Deore 592 MTB derailleur, CX70 front derailleur, 11-34 10 speed SLX cassette, and a KMC X10-93 chain. The combination has been reliable and trouble-free.
I assume swapping to the Shimano 105 FC-5800 HT2 with Ultegra SM-BBR60 english looks like a decent cost effective solution (roughly $140). Any other options or anything technically I should consider that would make this not work?
