46/36 is one of the listed cranks in E-Tube, AFAIK, and as I’ve discovered only the current cranks and cassettes as listed on the site are going to be compatible “according to Shimano”. And as others have stated it’s really only an issue if you happen to desire a correct gear indication on a Garmin or similar device.
