I used to use a 52/42/24 crankset and 11/32 cassette. When I was on the 24T chainring, the rear derailleur did not have enough cage to take up the slack when I was on the two smallest sprockets. But that was badly cross chained, should not use those gears anyway. Thus, I used that system for about 10 years without any problem. There were a few times that I accidentally got into one of those gears and then the odd noise out of the back (chain rubbing on part of the derailleur cage) alerted me that I was in a bad gear.

I think you should go for it. And just avoid the most cross chained gears.


But I had enough links in the chain that if I accidentally shifted onto the big and big combination, there was enough chain slack to avoid damaging anything. The OP should do that too.
