I think you’re asking for trouble if you shortened that chain. The derailleur cage appears to be unwound just about as far as it will go I the big big. Taking out links and you increase the chance of jamming everything up.

Since there’s really no need to ride in the small small combo, just stay on larger cogs when on the small ring and you’re fine.
